Phillipa,

In answer to your previous question, the WBC was low but the other values (e.g. neutrophils etc) were normal. This really had me puzzled until I looked at the units. The WBC is an absolute number of cells, and the neutrophils, basophils etc are expressed as percentages of the whole. Their proportions were all OK so they must have all been down by an equivalent amount. So... nothing specific for any of these cell types, just their total number.

Thank you for the link... I took a look at the site, which I found pretty interesting. I checked out their sample reading and saw that while the advice seemed to be fine, they rely heavily on herbal and other supplements and these are not without potential side effects of their own of course. But I got a couple of great suggestions including (duh)epsom salt baths for aching muscles. Which I'd completely forgotten about, and they have worked in the past. So I can't wait to go buy some and have a long hot soak!

Thanks! Lucie
