A member asked:

Been struggling w fatigue/body pain for 2 years. recently learned my white blood count is 3.5 and platelets are also low. is this a concern? related?

Fatigue, low counts: Hi Barbara. Your symptoms and blood work could be related. You need to see a physician to look for the causes of your symptoms and for your abnormal blood work to help you find a cause.
