Low White Blood Cell Count????

OK Peeps... i have a weird question and i was wondering if this has happened to any of you?

i went and did some normal blood work -- you know, the once a year stuff on Friday (which they went through the vein and made me bleed out and bruise badly, lol -- stupid people)

and yesterday (that was quick was my first thought) i missed a call from my doc ( Read more... )

i was hoping maybe it was something i hadn't heard of related to Fibro. that possibly someone else had run into.

My counts have come back wonky a couple of times too... My doctor has me repeating blood work every other month to keep an eye out but so far the numbers have just been low... It also like the other person says depends on what type of white cel is low... It gets a little complicated I would not be able to explain it like a doctor but I would not freak out.. Talk to your doctor and get all the info... Then if needed freak out. But it could be nothing and they may just want to watch it... That is what my doctor is doing and so far nothing has changed...

the first few years I was sick with CFS (got a fibro dx about 2 or 3 years later) I always had low WBC count. The doctor made a note of it but didn't seem too worried.

I never knew why it was low. My WBC is low-normal now but it still spikes when I have a bad infection so I think they're working ok.

I agree. Talk to the doctor. Go for your appointment. They kinda alarmed you. I hope they gave you an apt. like today!!!
If they are making you wait a bit I would call the nurse and say I am concerned and having anxiety over this and would like the doc. to call me back.
They should do that for you.
Good Luck!
I am praying for you.
