My daughter has to go see a hematologist.?
Our 14 year old daughters blood work came back that her White blood count is 2.6. I noticed first that she is pale. Thinking maybe her Vitamin D is low again, she was tested. She said today that her fingers hurt. I am so nervous and scared you couldn't even imagine. She goes to the hematologist in a week. Any help from anyone out there?

Vitamin D deficiency is caused by a lack of sunshine. A minimum of 10 minutes in bright sunshine or a half hour in dull overcast days will remedy that problem. There are Vitamin D tablets, but I suggest asking a doctor first before taking them.
Anaemia is caused by a lack of iron in the blood, causing a lack of red blood cells, from not eating enough red meat (beef and lamb) or lack of eating beans and other legumes. Iron supplements, especially with Vitamin C for absorption, will remedy that.
There can be a number of reasons for a lack of white cells in the blood with the worst being Leukemia or Multiple Myeloma.
Sore fingers can be from rheumatism or arthritis or even goat, but goat would also show up as sore feet.

It's def the vitamin D. My mother , aswell as I, both had deficiencies. Both of our white blood cell count's were below the LOWEST of the low on the chart. The bare minumum, we were below. Your doctors immune system is being severly affected by this. Vitamin D makes whitebloodcells. Iron makes red, aswell as b12. She needs liquid D3, along with magnesium oil, and a fat. All at the same time. Right before bed have her eat something fatty, then take, 10,000 iu's of vitamin D, along with a 2 teaspoons of magnesium oil rubbed on her skin. Magnesium is vitamin d's cofactor, without it, you won't correct the vitamin D. Optiumum ranges, are 80-100. I learned this from the leading Vitamin D doctor in the world. A level of 100 is optimal. Lifeguards levels are over 100, and a doctor who cures MS with vitamin D keeps his patients at 150, aswell as himself. Doctor's tell you of toxicity, to scare you. They have been hiding this info of vitamin d for decades, because they can't patent it. So no money for them. Vitamin d decreases all cancers by 80%. Anyway, if you need help let me know! estradope@yahoo.com =)

I am so sorry you have to go through with this. The only thing I can think of is being anemic. MY counts were down and I was achy. I have had it twice in my life. Mainly from heavy periods and one time from nutrition. Hope hope it is nothing else.
