7-29-05 blood work

I just bought Bonnie Riatt's "Angel from Montgomery" from iTunes. That's an important one to have.

I started the riluzole again, yesterday morning. This morning I had very little of the ritual leg spasms. Probably coincidence.

Because I was going to try the riluzole again, I needed to check my bilirubin and white blood cell count levels. Here are the results of the lab work:
