I am so happy to hear the news, Jemian, that you do not have leukemia.

But do they know what did cause your white blood cell count to go up? An infection? Do they know where?

[Jemian]

Thank you for your well wishes. The answer is no, we don’t know what caused it to go up. We suspect I have an infection caused by sinusitus because:

the antibiotic I was on especially targeted that type of infection,
I have had, and still have, mild sinus congestion. Nothing that even causes a discharge but I get a stuffy nose whenever I become horizontal, and
(an infection) because the count came down after taking an antibiotic.

I now have a sulfa drug and hopefully that will clear the sinusitus. I take that for two weeks and then we’ll see.
