i spent the day up at Columbia. no fun. i just heard back from the doctor, and my white blood cell count *was* low. The cut off is 3.5, and I was 2.8. I think its called Neutropenia, right? Or is that just a suppression of one type of white blood cell. Everything else was fine, chest x-ray was fine. Anyway, I’m off the IFN for the week. I go back on Tuesday for bloodwork again. If I’m back to normal I will restart the IFN at a reduced dose and ramp back up.
This evening, generally feeling much better than the past few days.
As per my naturopath’s instructions, I got a neti pot and tried to use it, but had somewhat of a comical failure. I followed his instructions, and also watched a demo on youtube, but I couldn’t get it to work right. It would just stop up in my top nostril and not go out the bottom. In one attempt it ran out the back of my throat into my mouth, that was the closest I got to any flow.
If you know how to use one of these things, and know what I am doing wrong, please comment! (LOL)
Along the way, I found a funny one. Watch all three rounds of irrigation…
P.S. I weighed in at 203.4lbs.
