I think that happens a lot. The blood disorder takes front and center stage. So many things can be overlooked or dismissed as a result. Their priority is to work on the blood disorder. Quality of life and other seemingly minor complaints go on the back burner. I understand the need to prioritize. I think having a doctor that's focused on your general health and wellbeing can be helpful.
