Is Neutrophil Count Of 1.91 A Cause For Concern?
I am almost 65 & was diagnosed with RA 11 years ago. I am on Humira & Methotrexate at this time. I just changed from MEthotrexate and Xeljam (SP). My 89 yr old mom lives with me. She uses diapers and a potty chair. I just got my lab report back & my Neutrophil has lowered to 1.91. That isn t too low, but the treatment below says to avoid changing infant diapers. I m it for her. Suggestions?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This suggestion is made to reduce the risk of infection occurring since your immune system is impaired.
With the use of gloves, possibly 2 pairs, and appropriate disposal of all wipes or material used, it is possible that you would not come into contact with any source of infection.
I hope this helps
