Hi @nana39,
I see from your posts that you are experiencing quite a few symptoms related to your blood levels and that you and your doctors are working hard to get to the root cause to find appriate treatment. Treatments for thrombocytopenia are dependent on the root cause.

To help you connect with fellow members like @rockitman @denisemarys and others who have varying forms of thrombocytopenia - condition where the body makes too few platelets - I moved your question to this existing discussion:

As @diana6 said, anisocytosis means there are red blood cells unequal in size in your blood results. These unequal cells may be related to your other symptoms and what ever is causing your blood condition. What did your doctors explain to you? What treatment options are being suggested?

Hello
I had low platelets and low blood cell counts, white, red, platelets, hemoglobin, etc.
I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia.
I am being treated by Moffitt cancer ctr in Tampa Fl.
Currently I have all normal blood cell treading with the exception of red blood cells, but they are at 3.07, s/b 3.70.
My platelets are now 184k
They were below 10k in March 2023.
I take Cyclosporin and Promacta every day to help my blood cells stay close to normal.
My treatment is ATGAM AND then Cyclosporin & Promacta the treatment for Aplastic Anemia.
Best of luck in finding the right Dr. And the right treatment.
You are your own advocate for your health.
