    I have not been officially diagnosed, but have my first bone marrow biopsy scheduled next week. Quite frankly, I will be shocked if the Dr. told me otherwise. For what it is worth, I have had low red, white, platelet, and hemoglobin levels since 2006. No Dr.has ever been particularly interested in the until 2 years ago (my gyno of all Dr’s noticed). So I obviously have had no treatments. The hematologist wanted to do the biopsy, but I was too scared, and asked if I could bring up all my bloodwork number through diet. I was successful over a 2 month period. They were still low, but not flagged low.
    FYI, I am wary of conventional medicine for chronic issues.
    I will update my reply asap. This is the first time I have felt it is affecting quality of life as I have been fatigued and out of breath a lot lately. Time to clean up my diet again…
