Does anyone here have a low white blood count. Mine was always normal middle range and since the past 2 Years it has been like 3.7. Not sure why? My reumotolgist is the one who said she thinks I have EDS but also thinks I have RA. All blood work is good except low white blood count. She said RA could do that but I wasn’t sure if EDS could too. Se was the one who told me about EDS but doesn’t realize how serious EDS is. She said I just need to strengthen my muscles and I should be fine….sure! My back is killing me and I think I’m going to start with the mast cell treatment. I’m not sure if I should take both doses in the morning or split them. Or should I just start with one dose? Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks!!!!!!

Hi! A rheumatologist could likely help you sort that out. If you should happen to have RA (which happens to some of us), mast cell treatment is critical anyway! In OUR house, we take a full dose of H1 and H2 antagonists in the morning and another full dose in the evening. “FINE” — that word kills me!
Big hug,
Diana
