I don't really know if pleurisy could be connected or not. I could be wrong, but from what I understand pleurisy can be brought on by other things, such as cold viruses and pneumonia besides just autoimmune diseases, so I would think that it would be hard to draw a connection. I don't know, though. AA can be brought on by so many indeterminable factors.
I know that I've developed a weird condition called Reynaud's syndrome, which is a vasospastic disorder, since the decline of my counts this second round. My doctor isn't sure if it's connected either. I have read a couple of studies that listed it as a possible symptom of MDS, but it doesn't seem to be connected to AA in any way.
