ALC numbers

Hi all,

Just an update on my earlier post last month following a bout of the flu when my ALC had moved from 38 to 43.11 in a week. Now happy to say still at 43 one month on. My DX in Jan.2016 showed ALC of 21.

Hi Joffre, I can understand your concern having just had a worrying hike in ALC myself (hopefully as the result of an infection).

Your doctor will be watching for trends and doubling now particularly as your ALC is over 30. Hoping it settles down...hoping mine does too! :-(

However, it's important to note that 'numbers' are not the only part of the equation and not always the most important factor.
