How low is it?  Was it low before surgery?

Do you have any autoimmune diseases that have been set off after the trauma of surgery?

I have, but no one can find the cause.  I've asked my surgeon, PCP, hematologist.  No one has a clue and they've been low for yrs now.

My #s are steadily improving over time and they still elevate in response to stress like they are supposed to (they elevated after plastic surgery). 

I did end up taking a lot of Flagyl at one point...practically nonstop for a year for bacterial overgrowth and I think that is most likely the cause.  I don't take it anymore and I've seen improvement since then.

Sorry I can't be of more help...
