Hi. Thank you for being here ♡
I had my labs today. My neutrophils are always high but today they came even more, higher 10 points more then the usual high. The lymphocytes also came extremly low, much lower then the usual low. Closer to zero.
I always understand the high neutrophils and low lymphocytes as a reaction to pred and rtx. Is it correct ?
This time they are much extreme. I got rtx on January 3 and on March 31, 1000mg each time. Wg was flaring in the last months. It is less active but still smoldering: coughing, eyes still aching & red, ears aching only once a week now, less diarhea (but maybe because of strict diet), joints still aching (joints pains are like a lesson in anatomy, isn't it ? You say, oh here, I didn't know that there is a joint over there as well... ) .
Very tired all the time, aching all over. Every other day taking pain killers pills. Also itchy skin. Taking also fenystil drops every other day or so.
So, if the new extreme results reflect the activity of rtx, why do I still have wg symptoms ? Or maybe it reflects something else ??
P.s. I have a new symptom: when I am totally tired I feel my heartbeats in my chest. Not more fast or slow just more strong. Like the heart is jumping with force. The dr. Heard a heart murmur. I will do ECG tomorow and heart echo on Friday. The dr. Think that it is my broken heart. He knows that I miss my beautiful Phil. Can a broken heart become literaly so ?
I attach the labs. Hope it is clear enough. Sorry for the length of the post. I need my beautiful dr. Phil very much and this place still feels like it is his in a certain way.
Thanks ♡
