Sorry about that....I knew that. My thinking and typing are not always in sync. I need to slow down at times.

Anyways....I've seen John's lymphocytes go up somewhat with a viral infection. But for the most part, they are pretty stable. Others have reported spikes in their lymphs with virals illnesses. His platelets and red cells take a hit especially if there's a fever. Fevers can chew through platelets.
