No ANC, just CBC with diff, My family dr got the labwork, as a precaution as I have been sick with a upper respiratory infection last week now this. Also being aware of my tx, and knowing that I began the week before taking the riba daily. the worst  as in severity and time spent away from work and just laying in bed sleeping or just being miserable. I could barely move from sore achey joints, when I did move about until some time passed I became nauseas. When I laid down my headaches pounding in the back and top of my head and eyes. I had chills and a fever and stayed in bed from 9:30PM Tuesday to about 5:30 PM Wednesday. I felt bad the week before, and yes I knew these were tx sx but what are they but sx caused by the poison we put in our bodies and the battles that rage in our systems against those poisons. My hair and everything hurt and I was definitely feeling it. I didn't talk to anyone and didn't call anyone except work. I did speak with my new sponsee. That actually helped me get away from myself.

Take care, Peace and Health. in a nutshell, I hurt like I never felt I would ever take care Will

Peace  and Health

What is your absolute neutrophil count, your ANC?  As dsrt said, I'm no lab reading expert but your labs look normal for someone on treatment. Feeling bad kind of goes with pumping your body full of these drugs and the sides that come with them.  Perhaps explain what you mean by feeling your worst ever?  Take care.

What's up with the Cipro? If you're trying to fight off an infection with low WBC that might be one reason for feeling bad. I'm no lab reading expert, but umm... they look like the labs of someone doing tx. Keep an eye on your WBC. Antibiotics aren't particularly effective if they don't have something to work with.
