Well, I didn't get a reply but I have news. After my initial blood tests results came in, I got an acne cyst. It then swelled my lower lip and under my chin into the glands. I was put on Clindamycin (sp) and the infection cleared up. I just had my blood work done again. My wbc's were 9000 so that was great! No Leukemia. My platelets are still up but no follow up is scheduled. My endo. is enthusiastic so maybe he will look into it. I thought this info would be helpful to those with elevated wbc's to know that antibiotics might be a first course of treatment.
All the best to you all,
