Immunity problems in spite of WBC of 4.0

I was diagnosed with MAA 3 years ago and had ATG and IST following ATG. Both treatments had no effect on my critical CBC reports and I haven't been on any treatment for over a year. Fortunately most blood numbers are much better now. WBC 4.0 RBC 4.0, Platelets 65, and HG 12.2. In spite of this improvement my primary physician and I have noticed that I seem to be getting more infections of longer duration in the last 6 months, at the same time my WBC has climbed from 3.5 to 4.0. He has ordered a immunoglobulin sbuclass test to be added to my CBC when I see my hematologist next week. Along the same line, I haven't felt any boost in energy as my HG has risen from 9 to 12.
Has anyone else had increasing problems with immunity after "recovery"?
I had WBC numbers in the 2's for 2 years and almost never caught colds or had infections and now I'm getting everything coming along. Any ideas or experiences from others?
Thanks,
Flyguy
