I'm so anxious to get into see my rhumatologist this Thursday. I haven't been diagnosed yet but my pcp thinks I am displaying symptoms. Just out of curiosity, in July my WBC was exactly the lowest it could be. Fast forward 2 months later and my WBC has dropped below normal. Is this also a sign of lupus?
Wishing u all the best of health! xo

Hi there,
Good luck with your rheumatology appointment, let us know how you get on.
The medical term for white blood cells is “leukocytes.” A lower than normal level of WBCs is called leukopenia. Leukopenia is one of the problems that can happen in SLE and is one of the classification criteria for diagnosing lupus.
