I recently found out I have Lyme. I am trying to research everything about my history for my first LLMD appt.
When I pulled together all of my labs I have a constantly elevated white blood cell count for at least the last six months.
This is when I have felt the worst. Is that common with Lyme?
Thanks in advance!!

Technically elevated WBC should be common with Lyme. Bacteria infections generally raise the WBC. The thing with Lyme is that nothing is "common." Symptoms vary between people so greatly it is hard to determine common symptoms. I know myself my RBC and WBC are always normal. There are lots of people with Lyme with low WBC as well.

my WBC's and neutrophils are elevated most times as well.....

My WBC count and neutrophils have been low since I was bit (10 years ago).
This disease does weird things and every person's body responds in different ways.
