Just chiming in here to note that my husband has mildly low platelets (frequently noted as large and sometimes even "giant"), moderate neutropenia (usually plus mildly low lymphocytes), and just barely below normal RBC counts--and he also has mild psoriasis, mild osteoarthritis, and hypogammaglobulenemia (sp?--I can never get it right!). His father has psoriasis and his mother has arthritis. His counts don't seem to vary a whole lot. His RBC went up from where it was at diagnosis due to iron supplementation; his neutrophil count used to pop up above 1000 occasionally but doesn't anymore. Or else he hasn't happened to go in for a test on a day that it did. Something autoimmune seems to be going on. One thing I'm noticing is that he never used to get headaches but now gets them regularly, and they'll last sometimes for a couple of days. Not sure what to make of that . . . .
So hang in there. Maybe over time you'll get a clearer sense of whether or how the dots connect. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any news you report.
