Hi, Hopeful!
Thanks for your reply. I'll be sure to confirm what their experience is in dealing with aplastic anemia. I appreciate that my local hematologist was honest about not feeling qualified to treat me.
My B12 was low. Not certain what the folic acid was.

Unfortunately I lost my medical through my employer after being out of work for so long. Now I I have one of the state medicaid insurances. I've been in contact with them and working on figuring out where I can receive treatment and what treatments.

I know I have to be proactive. My hemoglobin is generally quite low and the fatigue, shortness of breath, tachycardia, etc., seem to keep me too wiped most of the time to even do the things I need to.
I just received 2 units packed red cells Friday night and I'm still mostly just lying on the couch.

Thanks again!
