Thanks for the article

Kirby:
Thanks for the article. The second link worked.
As for my blood counts, it depends on what is considered "reasonable." I am fairly active (work full time, dance 2 -3x/wk, take Pilates, etc.) and feel fine doing all of that until my hemoglobin drops to somewhere around 7.5. By the time it gets to 7.1 or so, I get a transfusion. It typically goes up to around 9.7 after a transfusion. On average, I need a transfusion once/month. My WBC fluctuates between 1.5 and 1.1. My platelets fluctuate between 315 and 130.
Thanks again for the article.
All the best.
Leslie
