Hi there,

My WBC has gone from 0.5 this spring & summer, slowly up to 1.5 now. This summer I was on 1500 mg Exjade a day. I started 2000 mg late Aug - late Nov. Back to 1500 mg since Nov 30.

Since Dec 1, my WBC inched it's way first to 0.8, then to 1.0, and last week to 1.5. It's the highest it's been since I quit tacrolimus last May. It had been 0.5 - 0.8 for quite a few months and relatively stable.

Clinically, I don't notice any difference. I am not sick very often. I get red cell transfusions every 2 weeks still. (Was diagnosed with Pure Red Cell Aplasia, then Aplastic Anemia, then "normal marrow - immune problem" - so who knows).

I'm not getting too excited about my WBC at this point, since I don't know if it is significant or not, but it beats going the other way.
