Re: hearing... and white cell counts

[Guest guest]

Hi Dawn,

My white cell doesn’t go up until an infection is really

horrible either. Neither does my bilirubin. It’s hard to convince some medical personnel

that I’m really getting sick. This even includes some of the liver specialists

and my interventional radiologist. But after 5 years of reoccurring infections,

I KNOW what they feel like. There’s nothing else like them.

Going a step further though, I am also IgA deficent which means I have

poblems with ear and sinus infections, so far my IgG and IgM have

remained Okay. IgA lines all of our mucus membrains to assists us in

fighting infections, which is why I personally, think that my white

blood cell count does not tend to go up when I have infections until

they get really bad. But that's off topic.
