Leukopenia ( low white blood count)

<p>I'm a patient at mayo clinic and I get tested every 6 mos to monitor my MGUS. My IGM white cells are at a low 15...(i believe thats the lowest allowed). IGM'S are said to be the main white blood cell to fight infection. I last took my bloodwork last month, and haven't heard back if this is a concern. Previously as it has been dropping, I was told it was being crowded out out by unhealthy cells. Im verrrrry exhausted, and look like i have two black eyes. Thankfully no further progression in MGUS...thats all I know. I wasn't able to see my oncologist after my bloodwork so I really don't know what they think about this.</p>

Hi @dazlin, you'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about low white blood cell counts in the Blood Cancers group. I did this so you can connect with others like @1nan @kjjjrader @finsmom2018 @virginiaj who have also experienced low white blood cell counts.
@dazlin, are you currently on any treatment for MGUS? Have you considered posting a question to your oncologist or hematologist in Mayo's patient portal to see what you can do?
I have Pancytopenia an this anemia has low white cells and many other cells as well. Just another possibility. Be well. Peach

Yes my white blood count is always low and so is my red blood count. I have a doctors appointment Friday for my lab results. Medications can make your white blood count and I do have a med that can lower your white blood count. If you are on meds check all your meds online
