Also, I was told that an elevated MCV is common with AA, even through recovery and beyond. It is an indication that that the marrow is stressed. My MCV only started to come down a couple months ago and then recently shot back up when a virus knocked down all my counts. How high is your MCV, Donna?
Not to mention the blood-thinning effect on the platelets I believe they also have.
