    Low Lymphocytes

    I have been on Tecfidera since June. I am doing very well on it and have no MS symptoms anymore except maybe fatigue, but mostly on the days I am super busy and don't sit all day.

    I had my labs checked in October and my white count was a bit low, but my lymphocyte count was normal. I just had my labs rechecked last week (at my request) and my lymphocyte count is 9% (normal range is 20 - 44%.).

    Has anyone else had their counts drop this low? I haven't had any infections and don't feel bad at all. I will have to call my neuro tomorrow and let him know my counts. I just don't want to be taken off this med. It is working really well for my MS.

    Yep

    Mine are 6% :/ I changed to taking the tech once per day to see if it would help - won't find out til next appt (none available yet) I don't even go out much (mobility issues and can't drive) and ended up catching an upper respiratory thing that lasted 6 weeks so far - finally feeling a little better, but still coughing stuff up now and then
