I do not have this disease, but this web site provides all sorts of info and links up people with the disease:
Unfortunately Aplastic Anemia is rare. It’s a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells.
The term ‘aplastic’ means the marrow suffers from an aplasia that renders it unable to function properly. Anemia is the condition of having reduced hemoglobin or red cell concentration in the blood. Typically, anemia refers to low red blood cell counts, but aplastic anemia patients have lower counts of all three blood cell types: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, termed pancytopenia.
