Graves' Disease.. Part 4: Am I ill, or not?

I'm taking meds to freeze my thyroid gland in it tracks, to make sure it doesn't produce anymore thyroid hormone, as well as meds to push my heart rate back down.
The problem is that my meds can wither away my white blood cells - leaving me with a lacking defense against bacteria and the likes.
Thats why my endo explicitly ordered me to go to my hospital to get my blood checked anytime I get a fever, sore throat or the likes.
