OK basically rthe " philes " and " cytes " are differnt kinds of white

blood cells and tell a differnt thing abit the state of the immune

system, Low is usually fine adn high can indicate he is finghting an

infeciton. His are REALLY not far elevated so I think I agree with your

doc that they are nothing to worry about.

Thank goodness for Henry! I don't think I can take any thing else right now:)

Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

Can you please take a quick look at MY most recent labs:

SODIUM 141 ( 136-145)

POTASSIUM 4.1 (3.5-5.1)

Potassium was orig 138. After 2 weeks on 10meq it went up 1 pt to 139.

I continued on 10 meq 1 week then increased to 20 meq for 5 days and went up 2

pts to 141. I don't want to go too high - should I go back down to 10 meq?

Whats your advice??

I think my sodium is where you want it. Should I continue to do sea salt? Will

it continue to rise?

And lastly they tested magnesium at urgent care but NOT the rbc so I don't think

it of any use but here it is

MAGNESIUM 2.2 (1.6-2.6)

Thx again!!

I woudl continue wiht the exact doses you were takign at the time of

the testing. It will not conitinue to rise as these electrolytes are

adjusted by your body on an hour by hour basis. We just have to give

them the raw materials every day to work with. With weak adrenals we

tend to lose these vital minerals so a constant influx of them is needed.

My two cents, his MCV is below mid range. Is he possibly a little anemic? That

would track with fighting an infection.
