I have thrombocytopenia idiopathic aplastic anemia. I have low body temp 97 almost consistently, as well as low blood pressure. I also pass out on occasion, sometimes not for a couple of months, sometimes multiple times a week/day. My anemia is not severe and has been managed with blood transfusions and from what I've read and been told I'm very lucky and it's not as bad as it could be. I can't drink anything with much b12 in it without getting very sick, I feel very dizzy and nauseated. I've talked to multiple doctors, but the only answer I get is that I am aplastic anemia.Is this all related? Is there anything that can be done?

@x2xFallenAngelx2x,

I wish I knew, and I'm sorry you're suffering. All I can think of is to speak with a specialist, maybe an endocrinologist?

@x2xFallenAngelx2x,

Are you male or female? If female, are you pre or post menopausal?

Have your doctors done any testing for poisoning from heavy metals?

@jespah,

Angel needs to see a hematologist - they specialize in all kinds of anemias including aplastic. I don't know where you live, Angel, but if possible, see a specialist at a university medical center. Many university med centers in the United States have specialty clinics and I figure many others in the world do as well.

If there isn't a hematology clinic as such, call the internal medicine department, tell them your diagnosis, as ask them what clinic or hematologists you could be seen by.
