Umm... Houston?

Got this mornings lab draw back. WBC continues to go south. Now at .058.  Seems the melatonin and shark liver oil had little effect on getting these up. How come I don't feel worse?  Anyway, the NP is going to up the Nuepogen. My Hemaglobin holding at 9.5 and PLTs at 45K. Not bad.



"Houston, those 02 levels are dropping again... do we have a procedure for that?"

" 13, we'll get those procedures to you just as soon as we possibly can... Ken Mattingly is in the simulator working on it as we speak."

" copy that Houston.....Kens working on it!?...."

"That's affirm 13...he does not have the measles..."

My bad, they also use them for WBC. But they also lower blood pressure, so ppl like me should stay away from them. My blood pressure is already to low anyway....

But the one really praised for WBC is the Shiitake

I don't think Maitake are for wbc. Shiitake are.

gotta agree with Marcia
Shiitake and Maitake should help with your whites and probably the other medicinal Mushrooms as well. except maybe cordyceps. I dont know if i spelt them right.

If you dont want to add another pill, and you are taking a few you could try something novel and just eat them.

I'm repeating my post from further up... as you seem to be really brain fogged and missed it. Hope you'll feel better soon. Susan is having the Shiitake on practically every thing she eats as she is not allowed the supplements.

You can sauté them with garlic add some spinach and tomatoes and toss them over some pasta. Or add them to a miso, or whatever.

'Susan400 swears on Shiitake for the WBC. Maybe she'll chime in. She is eating the mushrooms, as she is not allowed to take supplements. (trial)

Don't know what HR says to that.... '

Well, brain fog is becoming an issue. If those supps are for plts then they are probably working. It can be tough to keep all this stuff straight on tox. What is good for whites?  i heard Shatake mushrooms help. (sigh, another sup!)


"Flight, those C02 levels are rising again... causing impaired judgement..."

"Roger that, just hunker down until we get it figured out..."

" Ok Houston, we copy..."

Gauf - Seems the melatonin and shark liver oil had little effect on getting these up.
___________________________________________

I thought these were for your Platelets. Or did I miss something.
I agree with looking into the Medicinal Mushies.

Having low whites is a good sign. The IFN is doing something at least, but you dont want to go an get sick now do you.

You aren't going to feel worse, gauf, because your low white count is compromising your immune system.  You won't feel worse until you get sick.  Then you'll feel worse than others would as you won't recover quite as well.  Please be careful out there.  That number has me mighty worried.  Keep that up and I'm going to take up a collection for a hazmat suit for you.

What are your lymphocytes at now?

"gauf would like you to know .... he does not have the measles"

- that's what I want to keep hearing.

Okey Major sit tight no panic.... dont forget your ship is over 50years of age, if you just tap the  instrumental glas with your fingernails as you use to,  the instrument will probebly show normal figures again. Over and out from houston........

Houston calling one more time pay attention nr 13, we dont want any more  of them reports about extra terrestras!
If you have any more such experiences just pretend they never happened.
Or even better, throw that pipe you always sucking on out the window. Create a pipe satellite do you copy nr 13 over and out..
