Hi Barbara,

Can you clarify your Absolute Neutrophil count? Is it 1.60 or is .160? I've never seen it expressed as 160.

If it's 1.6, then your body can fight off infections. My husband, like Cheryl, did fine with very low neutrophil count for quite a long time. Are you dealing with gum disease? Is that why your teeth are falling out? It is possible to have more a second medical condition not directly tied to a low WBC.
