My rheumo's office left a message on my answering machine today and it said the I have elevated Eos's on my blood. They said that I should see a hemotologist. What is Eos? I have no idea.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
White blood cells (WBC). White blood cells or leukocytes defend the body against infection. The total number of white blood cells ranges from 4,000 to 11,000 per cubic millimeter in the average healthy adult. A high WBC count may mean the body is fighting an infection. A low WBC count may mean there is a bone marrow problem either from chronic disease or from drugs like AZT or ganciclovir. Tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, and other fungal diseases may also cause bone marrow problems such as "cytopenia" or low cell counts.
Eosinophils (Eos) are WBCs usually involved in allergic-type reactions. An elevated eosinophil percentage can help in diagnosing certain types of allergic diseases. Ranges vary from 0-8%.
Hope this helps.
Funny you should ask this question today. I have had a telephone call from my drs office and they said I had high white blood cell count for third consecutive month. They think it may be because I have been on steriods lately again. They are going to retest as normal in one monh ( I have monthly blood tests) if the results are still high I will have to have another batch of blood tests. I wasn't sure what this mean't either but I read a similar web page to dixieforme and I think I somewhat understand now. Hope this makes you feel better to know you are not alone.
