My daughter has neutropenia. Her neutrophils count varies from 1 to 2%. She was diagnosed after a fever; she also had small blisters in her mouth. She always asks for water, so we presume she is always thirsty. She is 1 year old and nobody really knows why she has it.

My son is just over 1 year old and at 9 months was found to have virus-induced neutropenia. The doctors say there is a good chance it will fix itself in six months or so.

I am 22, and I have recently been diagnosed with neutropenia. I have been taking blood tests, and the doctors still haven't figured what the real problem is. I haven't really had symptoms except for tiredness.

I'm 70 years old and halfway through six chemotherapy sessions, but neutropenia cropped up, and I'm on hold until the count goes up. My count is well below the required number as of now.

I have been a cyclic neutropenic for 16 years. I found out about it at 48 years of age. It is indeed a very difficult disease to live with, but I have been so blessed by my doctor who is an expert in neutropenia. I think that is the key with this disease: You need to find a doctor who knows what he is doing and then will do it!

My daughter is 11 years old and has had neutropenia for a year now. Her white cells are low all the time! We check her counts once a month. Everything is looking good right now!

My white count has been getting progressively lower. Now at 2.5 on a scale of 3.6-10.6. Specifically, my neutrophil absolute has fallen to 1.4 on a scale of 1.8-6.8. I recently read that the heart pill I am on can cause low white count. I take 2 Rythmol SR caps (225mg) per day. (Propafenone). Has anyone else found this, or other drugs, to be the cause of low white count?
