Re: Re: CBC while on Tetracycline?

[Guest guest]

I had a full blood workup done last month. The two categories I remember

coming back abnormally were my absolute lymphocyte count (which was a little

above where it was supposed to be I think), and I had an abnormally low WBC.

Actually, my White Blood Cell count was REALLY low.. it wasnt even close to

the range it was supposed to be in. I wonder if thats why I get sick alot

lately (cuz wbcs fight off infection). I would've been worried, except I

came back normal in every other category, so I figured it couldn't be

anything serious. I found out certain antibiotics can cause a low white

blood cell count if taken for too long. So that might be one thing to watch

for in your blood work.

I didnt ask him about the WBC thing because he told me, like you said, that

its normal for some categories to come back a little funky. I just sorta

assumed the Minocycline did it, and since everything else was normal, that

meant I was healthy, and had nothin' serious wrong, so no need makin' a fuss

(I wanted to save all my fusses for cea-related matters . I'll ask

him at my next appointment if that might be why I've been getting sick more

often lately.
