Don't despair, Pam. My WCC averages around 1.4 and has been as low as 0.9. Have lived with it this low for a few years now, and it's surprising how you can get used to being sensibly careful. I don't normally get sick very often. There are other things you can do too to help, like foregoing foods which contain cane sugar (bad for immunity), and milk products (mucous forming and therefore provide a fertile environment for germs to grow).
