His HgB was low way back when he was diagnosed, but since diagnosis, his iron has been fine. He only has low platelets and worsening low WBC. This anemia is new. He hasn't felt this crappy since 2008 when he first showed signs and his blood #s were all low. (he was diagnosed in 2015 after having moderately low numbers for 7 years).
He's never complained of exhaustion like this. The only other new thing is he was started on Insulin. I'm not sure if this would affect his Iron levels... or if the insulin makes him tired also.
He told me he didn't want to play hockey this summer. That is very out of character.
