Low white blood cell count -Vitamin D deficiency


Posted by Sven1960

my wife has low blood pressure, allergies and taking valtrex for cold sores in her nose. A recent blood test revealed a very low white blood cell count and vitamin D deficiency. She's 46 years old and has never been an energetic person. She says she's hypoglycemic and also low estrogen-progesterine levels which she is using a progesterine cream. Is there any connection to the low WBC count-low Vitamin D to her listlessness and low drive?

hello

vitamin D receptors are inside many cells, and because of these receptors vitamin D actually regulates gene expression.  these receptors are inside many white blood cells, so if vitamin D is low, then WBC's will logically also be low

Thank you very much. She has been taking extra Vitamin D for a month but her blood tests showed low levels of Estrogen and testosterone. She is 46 and has been taking progesterine cream twice a day to regulate but hasn't improved her energy. Since she's hypoglycemic, low blood pressure, has allergies with a low functioning thyroid it seems we just need to knock out one symptom at a time.
