Since my stomach has been having issues, I have reduced the minocin again to 100mg once a day. I continue to take a probiotic supplement, Jarrow Formulas AF with 10 billion strains.
Had bloodwork drawn yesterday, and now I am going to start Zithromax Tues./Thursday 250mg once per day.
Bloodwork didn't show any major changes, though sed rate and CRP are still low, which is great. Neutrophil count is way up. Usually it's around 53% for me, and this bloodwork showed neutrophils at 69%. I've read that an increase in neutrophils can indicate a bacterial infection. So maybe it is the strep that is just taking up residence? I suppose we'll see after starting the zithromax. MCV and MCH are still elevated slightly. Platelets still at low end of normal at 206.
Sed rate = 2, CRP <0.3 mg/L.
RBC count still low at 3.8.
TSH at 1.44, Free T3 at 2.4 pg/ml (range:2.0-4.4), Free T4 at 1.04 ng/dL (range: 0.82-1.77).
RA elevated slightly at 15.4. ANA is still positive, no big surprise there only wish I could have afforded to get the titer for the ANA.
