Hello Everyone:

Has anyone experienced gelatinous degeneration of their bone marrow? I'm still trying to find out what is going on. Very low white counts (well, they are around 1000 - which to me is low). Most everything is low, but whites are the most. My hematologist doesn't seem too concerned - more of a watch and wait kind of approach. This concerns me, because it's the same thing that doctors did with my liver, and now that is basically destroyed.

What's odd is it feels like my bone marrow is freezing. Very odd. I don't know how else to describe it. I read an article about gelatinous degeneration due to chronic malnutrition - which I've experienced due to my liver condition - and it sure seems right. How would I tell if that is indeed what is going on with my marrow. Bone marrow biopsy? Or would an MRI show something like that? If anyone has any experience with that, would be greatly appreciated.
