I’m not sure I’m connected to where I need it be : I have very low platelets and low hemoglobin, I get my blood drawn 3 days a week most weeks I have to have blood or platelets sometimes I need both. The lowest my platelets have been is 7,000 the highest is 69,000 . I do not have cancer my bone marrow biopsy showed one area making platelets the other area not making any . My hemoglobin is from 8 to 10 and I get blood when it’s at 8 . The doctors do not know what my problem is, they are treating me for aplastic anemia but that’s not my problem, they don’t know the problem. I would appreciate any help.

Is it thrombocytopenia, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis?
