Immune kickstart

Hi All, saw my Haemo man on Tuesday, third time in 6 weeks, due to lump under my arm, after Phiser jab. Lump gone, he tells me that it is likely that the vaccine 'Kick Started' (His words) my immune system, into action.

My bloods were good, WBC down from 38 to 19 within three weeks. RBC whiuch were low, are back to normal, but platelets which were normal, now low.

I appreciate that our bloods go up and down, but he was surprised a little at the biggish WBC drop, which as I say, he put down to the 'KickStart'

Looking forward to my fourth jab, and hope it's another 'Phiser'? Regards Ron

Wow that is definitely a big drop. Let's hope it is the beginning of a favorable downward trend. Miracles do happen especially around Christmas time 😄
