Low white blood cell count

[Shelly]

Anyone ever have a blood test that came back with a low white blood cell count. Am sooo scared. Additional bloodwork is being done but the waiting for results is horrible. Does a low white blood cell count have to mean something life threatening? Please help.

No it definately does not mean something life threatening.

I have had a low white blood cell count the last few times I've had blood drawn. The doctors never say anything, they just look at my results and go, "ok everything looks normal, the things you see here out of range are fine."

I spent a bunch of time googling it one day and it seems that some people just run low. Don't worry, I'm sure your new tests will show that everything is just fine.
