I have been dealing with a lot of, unexplained, health issues lately; hence, the reason, why I have not been posting on this site. I am asking for prayers and positive thoughts for tomorrow. I go in to have every test under the sun; from blood tests, to x-rays, even an EKG. I am hoping that everything is okay, and that I am not serious ill. My white cell count (in my blood) is very low for some reason, and this is a major concern for me...

You know you've got my prayers ;) :bighug:

I will indeed pray for you sweetheart. :bighug:

I'll be praying, bud.

As someone else who is dealing with health issues right now, my heart goes out to you, Tara. I will keep you in my thoughts and say a special prayer for you.

i no people immediatley think leukemia when they have low count of wbc's. it is naturaly alarming. i have a background in medicine and i find common cause of low wbc count is leukopenia. and i find most cases of leukopenia to be caused by vitamin or nutrient deficiency or side effecdts of certain medications. leukopenia is rarely caused by soemthing serious in my experience


Many of these ailments can be cause of leukopenia, influenza, systemic lupus erythematosus, Hodgkin's lymphoma, some types of cancer, typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis, dengue, Rickettsial infections, enlargement of the spleen, folate deficiencies, psittacosis and sepsis.Many other causes exist, such as a deficiency in certain minerals such as copper and zinc.(this paragraphy from wikipedia)


Also some medications will cause leukopenia such as prolonged use of antidepressants or immunosuppresive medications.

really i would not worry to much. i think that you will be fine and i think slowly, slowly with right vitamins and nutrients you will see improvement.



my well wishes - Parvaz

Hi Tara! You are in my prayers.
