@A MyMSTeam Member. Not on T but I'm on Gileyna. My WBC has been low for 4 yrs now lymphocytes very low also. Just started seeing a different Neuro in the same office an d she's concerned about lymphocytes being low for so long. Wants to keep and I on them.

Won't be doing labs until July right before I go back at the end of the month. Other neuro (specialist also) never said a word. This new even spoke about changing meds but wants to see what my MRI looks like first.

Actually considering talking to her in July about taking a break and allowing blood work to go back to normal. ๐Ÿ˜•

I think there is a recommended cut off at which you have to change meds, like lymphocyte count 800 or less? Cant remember off the top of my head but there is a recommendation out there. Im getting my labs done Tue and see my neuro 6/2 so haha right there with you!
