Question:
I was involved in a research study where they took my blood count periodicly through the year. Each time my neutrophil count (part of white blood cells) got lower and lower. He said he hadnt ever seen someone that appears healthy with that low of a count. The dr was amazed that I didnt have reoccuring/unresolved infections and mouth ulcers. He was very concerned and said I should see a hemotologist and get a bone marrow biopsy. (since its unrelated to the study he couldnt help me) I got a new job and insurance is about to kick in...Im pretty nervous about the possibilities.
Answers:
Please consult a doctor. If they recommend a bone marrow biopsy, I would go for it.
Two months after I was married, I was hospitalized with severe neutropenia and low platelets. It turns out I had aplastic anemia and almost died. You can read my story on:

I was healthy with no mouth ulcers or any other symptoms except tired all the time. I pray that this is only a scare for you and that all will turn out well.
Don't ignore the situation, it should be investigated and treated asap.
Good luck!
neutropenia is low white blood cell counts. this is usually not seen in normal healthy people. you could possibly have a bone marrow problem. this is usually seen in cancer or HIV. i would see a doctor. Good luck.
