Have you been tested for PNH? It's another bone marrow disorder that commonly manifests as brick-coloured urine. It's even rarer than AA/MDS, but there are treatments available.

and a consistent fever ranging from 99-100.5.
I would get low-grade fevers stretching on for weeks, but these were always the signs of an infection somewhere, most often in a Hickman or PICC line or lurking elsewhere in the body. Post-transplant these were taken VERY seriously. You should have your doctors swabbing you like crazy and/or taking antibiotics...
