Do you know what your vitamin D level is? I know of a couple of people who have had low WBC that were on "watch and wait". Their vitamin D was low and their B12 was a low normal. By fixing the nutritional issues, their white count returned to normal.

Now this may not be the case for you but it's is worth finding out what your D, B12, folate, zinc, copper and iron levels are. If you are taking any supplements, then you would need to stop 3 or 4 days prior to testing. Unless you are living in a very sunny climate and getting lots of exposure, vitamin D is usually inadequate. Most need to take more than the current USDA requirements. It's worth exploring.
