A member asked:
Does fibromyalgia cause a boor imuune system (constant flu like symptoms) along with a very low white bloodcell count.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no marker in the blood to diagnose fibromyalgia. In fact, your low WBC , if confirmed to be persistent for >30 days, may well be the cause for fatigue since it indicates that a lowered ability to defend against infection. There are many potential causes and you need to consult your doctor to get a workup.
