Anyone diagnosed with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia?
So after 3 blood transfusions back to back to back a hematologist finally stepped in this last hospital visit and diagnosed me with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA). Just like the begining of my Lupus diagnoses I feel like this is going to be hard to deal with. I see very little about it as well as a very small handful of people with it.
