What is everyone's white blood cell count? I know we are all different, but I am curious to see where everyone is.

Look up The Iron Protocol on Facebook. They clued me in to my labs and further research suggests it will help my fatigue. Wonder why there is a normal value at all if docs won’t treat when you’re low. 🤔🙄

@tdisbat1 Higher risk of infection but steroids, even though they raise the wbc increase risk of infection. Here’s a link that explains https://www.healthline.com/health-news/overuse-...

Mine is 10.62 currently. Yours is way low. Please call Dr. It's really easy to pick up any infections at your #. I have a low Igg which is a white blood cell and they call it primary immunodeficiency... Are you on methotrexate??? I think that can make it low since it is actually chemotherapy. Prayers you're OK Calli

My Plaquenil keeps my labs pretty normal which means it’s doing it’s job.
