I agree with others that you might want to have you testosterone checked, as I also found out that I was low on that, and now apply a daily gel. Hormones can also have an effect on your red blood levels, as I understand it.
Also, has your thyroid been checked? When I got my AA dx, I also found that I had Hashimoto's hypothyroiditis, another autoimmune disease which can easily account for fatigue and lethargy. I got a big boost in overall well-being when I started taking thyroid medication, and the hematologist says thryoid function is important to RBC production.
Exercise and diet also help a lot. It's a paradox, but you need to expend energy in order to gain more of it...
Best wishes!
