High basophils differential but normal WBC -- am I ok?

Hi Everybody, (any HCV friends over here with yet ANOTHER disease?)

Had extensive bloodwork due to fatigue, night sweats, general ill feeling, swollen salivary glands.  All tests including autoimmune came back normal, with the exception of basophils elevated at 1.2 (range 0.0 -- 1.0).  That sent me straight to the internet which convinced me I have a catastrophic disease, perhaps chronic lymphocytic leukemia which I see is associated with cryoglobulonemia which I had caused by HCV.  I treated and cured HCV in 2008 which cured the cryo.  Also sodium and chloride blood levels are low.

So my question is:  what does it mean when you have high basophils but normal WBC?

Thanks MedHelp friends.
