I forgot to mention- after my lab draw Friday, where I completely passed out(not so good w/those- bp dropped to 63/40 before I came to). My Doc mentioned that he at least, is strongly feeling that this is d/t a viral infection that they have been unable to identify. Partially based on my chronic low grade fever 99.8-100.2, recent severe joint pain, etc. Every single other cell in my bloodwork appears normal. I just have total arrest of red cell development but I'm not sure what maturation stage they actually make it to before they're getting hemolyzed. Also of concern to me was the fact that both my spleen and thymus were "slightly enlarged", by about 15%, but he stated that he had consulted with one of our surgeons and they saw no cause for concern. After reading up on thymomas, I'm somewhat curious.
