Neutropenia
Jun 22, 2009 03:15AM in the Chemotherapy Expert Forum
Hi, I have a blood disorder of unknown cause. I am transfusion dependant and also have a chronically low WCC.

I mentioned this episode to my GP when I went for my B12 injection and he said that I could have had an absence seizure and that if it happened again, he would order some tests. Has anyone got any experience with absence seizures ? Does this sound like an absence seizure? It'd be terrible if it happened when I was driving.... I'm a bit worried. Arach
