I had it for 2 years but I didn't know till I got CBC done this month.
Its quite a shock to me because eitherwise I am healthy, no symptoms, lots of energy. I did stop taking glucosomine that I took for nearly 3 years.
I was reading some of these threads. Do I have to be concerned if I own a dog?
Any suggestion/advise/experience I would like to hear from a new kid on the block!

Sorry to hear. I was were you were about a month ago. I went for my yearly physical feeling fine, next day got a call from my doc, I told him to leave me alone but he was persistent so I knew I had to see a hematologist. and so here I am. You'll find in your reading that many cases come up during routine physicals. How do you know you have it for 2 years? , did you get a bone marrow biopsy and what were the results? WBC 2.9 if I'm not mistaking is close to range. Mine is 3.0 and considered normal. Platelets @ 114, is that 114,000?. Mine was initially 80,000 and for some unexplained reason came up to 1.3 or 130,000, I think 1.5 is in range. What was your Hemoglobin or RBC count. As your HG drops you might start feeling a bit dizzy, tired, unsteady. Some people acclimate to low HG but when a male hits 7 its usually noticeable. I have a dog, and she sheds but both my docs said not to give it a thought. Just don't smell the dog pooh when walking and you'll be fine
don't give up the dog.
