Hi everyone,

Thank you for the replies. Especially thank you to Hopeful for pointing out that article.

Yes, from what I have researched also, my low lymphocyte count is unusual 8+ months out. But in the past couple weeks it has risen a bit, from about 350 to about 450. I guess our disease is just very unusual, and we all heal differently and at our own rates.

I have heard the same thing Hopeful about a slow response often being a more resilient one. And indeed as Karenish said, the errant T-cells that cause AA are a type of lymphocytes, so if something in my counts is going to be down, it might as well be them.

My counts continue to improve, my doctor is talking about seeing me much less often, so all in all I consider myself very fortunate.

Kevin
