What is reactive lymph?

What is reactive lymph? was created by pawee
Today, I had my counts done and my platelets went down from 167 last week to 147 today. I don't know why it dropped since I didn't taper my prednisone yet. I had my monthly visitor too so maybe that affected it? Oh well....depressing but that is reality.

But my HGB was lower than last week's too though, last week it was 13.3 today it was at 12.5. But what's really weird is that today my counts said I had "Reactive Lymph" of 6 (which was High) Anybody know what that means? I don't think I have seen it before in any of my counts so I am very curious what that means.

My Hema was wanting to try WinRho for me before but will that be safe considering that my HGB is at the lower end of normal? I know WinRho will make your HGB drop one or two points. I will ask her when I talk to her later today.

Hope you all have better news about your counts today!!

I left a reply on the other board too. Your doctor doesn't want you to do the Win-Rho with a count of 147, does she? I'd love to have a count like that!
