Well, I had labs drawn today and I asked for the CBC as this is the first set of labs since I started the Avonex and I found out that my white count is bordering on the low side four point something, barely within normal range. My Doc is sending the labs through to my Neurologist and we'll see from there. She didn't anything about my BMP, so I'm hoping that the liver enzymes are OK. She will send all my labs to me in the mail, so I can scrutinize them myself. I hate the thought of changing from Avonex to something different or starting Neupagen, I think that would be another friggin' needle. I don't know if they would treat low whites with anything or just change treatments. Don't know? Guess I'll find out..........hopefully soon. I hate the hurry up and wait game.
On another note, I was able to tidy most of the house and remove four large wheel barrows of crap from the barn, leaving it totally clean. My goal was to get half way there, but I managed it all. They'll just crap it up again.........

WHERE IS MY MS PILL! Darn it!
Yeah, It's payback for all the needles I've shoved into kids being a pediatric nurse.
My first true love worked with horses, so the scent of horse sh-- holds fond memories for me.
Once again I hear of an MS drug I've never heard of nor has it ever been suggested to me. CRIKEY!
Diane, I didn't mean to confuse. Neupagen is not an MS drug but a drug often used to boost white blood cell count as in neutraphils and I am a nurse so I know more than I should and often speculate what would be coming next, which is very bad of me. I should not do that especially since I don't have the test results in my hand and do not know exactly how my CBC completely looks. Very naughty me! I'm sorry.......
Callie--oh oh oh, I get it now, whew; I can't keep track of all these drugs. Thanks for clarifying my brain (as much as is possible)
Diane-
Hey, pa, the pills are coming. (Why did I just see myself on a horse, swinging a lantern...?)
LOL, Diane
I imagine "they" may just want to monitor your whites if you're not showing any outward signs of infections, etc., and check it again in a few weeks/month...but what do I know? I'm just a nurse, too! LOL
