My Regular July Upward Blip
« on: August 03, 2007, 10:36:37 pm »
OK, its only been two July's, but both years the CD4 has gone up to @800 from its usual 600.  Anybody else have this kind of seasonal upward blip?  My doc said it might just be from increased sunlight, possibly allergies...And my VL fell from its usual 10k to 4k.

On the down side my % slides from the usual 25 to 20.  All driven I guess by the total lymphocyte count which climbs to 4.1 from the usual 2.5.

Mine is usually in November except this year with 133 brand new T-cells in June, raising the bar to 475.  Have the best day

Yes its strange.  My doc said he's tried looking for patterns in his patients to see if there's a common, consistent seasonal variation, but hasn't been able to discover one.

That's interesting!   I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with overall activity in summer.
