61 year old woman, just had blood test. Neutrophils (absolute) 1.0, neutrophils 36, Monocytes 18, WBC 2.9. No symptoms; healthy - eat well, work out daily, slender. Only issue has been diarrhea which started rather suddenly beginning of March 2009 - had it for 4 months, then less often but still have it occasionally. Stomach roils and rumbles a lot. GI suggested diverticulitis or IBS, though said it was unusal to start so quickly, and at my age. Did take antibiotics and cipro in March of 09 - didn't do anything to change the symptoms. Could these two things (blood test and stomach issues) be related? What does the low neutrophils and high monocytes mean? It scares me a bit.
