I would look further into your b12 and other potential nutritional issues. And cholesterol meds can effect bone marrow. It's good to see that your PC is addressing the B12. Most ignore low-normal results. Current thinking is that low-normal is very suspect and should be treated.
B12, folate, B6, copper, iron, zinc and D3 are the heavy hitters for the bone marrow. What was your B12, what type/form of B12 (cyno or methyl) are you taking now and how much. What was your folate reading?
You may be able to play with dosage or stop/change your cholesterol meds depending on your circumstances to see if it helps. Of course, there's a lot to consider with this but it's worth exploring. There's a lot of re-thinking regarding the appropriate use of these meds these days which stirs up controversy in the medical profession.
Nutrition and lifestyle are two thing you can address now with a focus to improve your overall health. They usually don't treat moderate AA. They usually wait until things decline before they treat. In the meantime, you can take positive measures for health.
