Suggest Medication For Anemia,severe Joint Pain And Dizziness
I have a history of anemia & am on iron. Severe joint pain (knees, wrists, hips) and fatigue/dizziness. Now my neutrophil count is .9, which I'm told is very low (wb count was 2.6). Not sick. Haven't had mono. Haven't had the flu in probably 20 years. I'm 33 and am extremely exhausted. Also joints throb during menstrual cycle. Family history of leukemia. Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. You have pancytopenia and you need to get a bone marrow done.
2. Joint pain could be secondary to anemia leading to body ache also.
3. Treatment of pancytopenia is necessary, get complete blood counts and also vit B12 assay. Correlation with vit B12 is necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
