Like Dan suggested, have your nutritional levels checked. At 34 yrs old, one would expect your vitamin levels to be in an optimal range. You should have, at a minimum, B12, folate, Vitamin D, zinc, copper and iron checked. And, you should not take any nutrients one week before testing.
If you have had them checked, find out what the exact levels are and if they are at a low-normal, especially B12 and D, then you will need to correct those. Many doctors are not up to date nor are they trained to address nutritional aspects of health unless they very obvious. This is something you may need to push or do on your own.
Are you on any medications? Prescribed or over-the-counter?
Any illness preceding your drop in blood counts?
Since you have trouble building muscle, get your hormones checked...eps testosterone and thyroid.
What is your diet like?
