So I have been loving Tecfidera. I feel better than I have in a long time. I just had my first follow up with my neuro since I started Tec (on since beginning of June.) My white blood cells are low, my absolute lymphocytes are at 0.7 (bottom normal low is 0.9) and my hemoglobin has fallen below the normal as well. My doctor's nurse just called and said to recheck labs in December.
Has anyone else had this happen? I called active source line at Tecfidera and she said do what your doctor says. I just wanted to know if they found with the trials that people's WBC's dropped then stayed steady or kept dropping until they had to stop the Tec. She said she didn't have that information. Odd. She offered no help at all. Now I'm nervous my counts will keep dropping and I'll have to stop taking Tec.
Just thought I'd see if anyone else had low counts and if they stayed that way or what. Thanks!
