My be your normal: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, unless there has been a recent change in your counts or you have new symptoms, it may be your normal.
