Hi Kelly
One type of WBC:s is very important when you fight infections and that is the neutrophiles. Neutrophiles are the most common type of WBC:s, comprising about 50-70% of all WBC:s. You know when your WBC:s are 1.9 your neutrophiles are probably very low – ask your hematologist about the number
.
In August I had four infection starting with tonsillitis and after a few weeks my neutrophils were 0,1. I started taking Neupogen (now 2 injections/week), that stimulates my bone marrow and my WBC:s are now 6.6

Here is one of many links to info about low neutrophiles
