I’LL BE GOING TO A HEMATOLOGIST SPECIALIST TO TEST FOR “AUTOIMMUNE LEUKOPENIA.”
I SPOKE TO THE NURSELINE THROUGH MY HEALTH INSURANCE AND IT DID HELP.
A FEW MONTHS AGO, I WAS HAPPY ABT NOT HAVING ENDOMETRIOSIS.
STAYING BUSY HELPS ME NOT WORRY. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO VOLUNTEERING WITH A LOCAL UNHOUSED OUTREACH PROGRAM THIS MONTH.

Wow - that's plenty of reason to have a high degree of anxiety. You sound like a person who keeps up with taking care of yourself and seeing your doctor regularly. Yet, unless you donated that blood, you wouldn't know about having too few WBCs. Good thing the Red Cross checks for stuff and lets donors know what they find. I hope the specialists you see can come up with an effective treatment plan.
