I was diagnosed July 2009 with RA and LGL. My ANC was hovering in the .3, .6, .1, .4 ranges for two years. I had RA flares in various joints, and mystery pains in various places. I started to experiment with various synthetic cannabinoids to treat the RA symptoms. I started with compounds in the "JWH" series. Named after John W Huffman who developed these for scientific research. I found the 018 helped to prevent RA flares, but my blood counts remained low and unchanged. Then I tried a compound named AM-2201, which is much stronger. After about six weeks of nightly treatment, a visit to the doc revealed my numbers are 2.7 and completely normal. The RA pain went away and am in complete remission. I have not told anyone of my experiments. But figure that this needs to get out so that others may possibly benefit. BTW, these compounds may not be legal in your jurisdiction, check the laws in your area.

Just a followup. Blood counts are completely normal. Abs neutrophils are 3.4k, abs lymphs 1.6, hgb 14.8, platelets 182, abs mono 0.2. Doc wants to see me in a year. I haven't told him of why I got better, but I know.

Another followup... Abs Neutrophils 3.3k Abs Lymphs 1.8k Hemoglobin 15.3 Platelets 194 Abs Mono 0.6 Red Blood Cell 5.28 Anti CCP comes in strongly positive >250. This is used to diagnose RA, which I have, but has been in remission since starting my treatment.

Another follow up… Abs Neutrophils 3.4k Abs Lymphs 1.8k Hemoglobin 15.0 Platelets 210 Abs Mono 0.3 Red Blood Cell 5.09 The Doctor is doing another flow cytometry to see if any LGLs remain. Will know in a week.

The Dr. called with the results of the flow cytometry, he said he sees no evidence of malignant LGLs at all and to see him in one year.

Another follow up… Abs Neutrophils 3.2k Abs Lymphs 1.7k Hemoglobin 14.6 Platelets 202 Abs Mono 0.4 Red Blood Cell 5.01

Wow! Good for you J_Doe. Did you there is a Facebook page for lgl with tons of info?

glad to see this, thanks for keeping us updated
