Ive gotten a WBC count once a month for the last three months. The results have been 3.8, 4.0, and just today i got a 3.4 :( I also have had a pretty low RBC the whole time at 4.3-4.8
The 3.8 and 4.0 were before i started a drug accutane and the 3.4 was a month into the accutane treatment (its a powerful acne drug).
My dad claims to have gotten the same low scores all his life, but im not sure if he's just saying that to make me less worried. He is perfectly healthy and doesnt seem to think its a big deal at all.
Is it possible to just have a naturally low WBC? My doctor doesnt seem worried at all, but im freaked out. I dont want to die. I cant stop worrying twenty four seven about it. If anyone knows anything about otherwise healthy people with no other symptoms having low WBC please help me. I googled it and only got more worried.
