Low full white cell blood count, advice please

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone. I have a condition which is still under investigation, to do with autoimmune/connective tissue disease. My latest blood tests showed a significant decrese in all the white blood cells, within the last 3 months. All below the normal range. Does anyone know what can cause this or what it means? ????

    A decrease in all of the types of your types is very odd, as usually when one goes down, your body will release more of another to make up for it. Sorry I can't be of more help, but for sure, it's something for your doctor to investigate. Best wishes..

      Hi. I just thought it was a bit concerning as in such a short time they have all gone below the limit. Maybe worrying over nothing? I am seeing the GP next week. Will ask for levels to be checked again.
