Disturbing Phone Call

Today I received a phone call from my new rheumatologists nurse, she informed me that my white blood count was at 2, which is very very low because it should be between 5-10. At my appointment, I had 12 tubes of blood work done. So today I was told to stop taking my imuran/azathioprine which is a medicine I have been taking since June 2007 when I was diagnosed with lupus. Stop taking imuran & continue to go down on the prednisone, I went from 20mg down to 1mg finally starting this Sunday. Wow, I'm nervous, a little afraid, & silently wondering, how my body is going to react. I am praying & know that now I'm going to have to rest, rest, rest & eat lots of fruits & vegetables until I go back in for another lab draw next Friday. That is the thing about lupus, you have to figure out what medicine combinations work best for you. It is not easy!!! I'm going to let GO & let GOD, but know that I'm going to have to pay close attention to my body, even more this week.
