Help me make out my own blood work results?

[fightingmom]

Still waiting on Dr. B's blood work and Lyme test results for son and I, but now that I am delving into all of this. I have noticed a few things on my own labs over the last year that seem consistent.

 

First, when I had my titers drawn to show immunity when enrolling back in school in the fall, I came back Negative - No IgG antibodies specific to: Rubella, Measle, Varicella Zoster (which is crazy because I had the chicken pox in my 20's and it was awful), Mumps.

 

How can this be? How can I have had a ton of vaccinations over the years, have a child exposed to all kinds of crap, have had chicken pox in adulthood and not have IgG antibodies to anything?

 

And, lastly, what does it mean if my Neutrophils are consistently flagged in the high range, but Lymphocytes are low?

 

I am having a very hard time understanding the antibodies thing in particular.

high neutrophils and low lymphocytes can be from stress

Oh, so then everyone here should have this result in their lab work!

 

I just noticed my last two lab results both had elevated WBC which I know indicate infection. I have chronic sinus infections and inflammation with my endo...so I guess that could explain that, too.

 

The lack of antibodies thing is weird though, no? and, I swear those damn vaccines (the ones the school made me get again, when my titers came back like crap) make me more sick than ever.
