What Is Aplastic Anemia?
8. What Does Living with Aplastic Anemia Look Like?
Most people with aplastic anemia must learn to live with it, managing symptoms as best as they can. The best thing you can do for your body is rest. Fight the urge to power through the fatigue, as this can make you more susceptible to complications. You may have to adjust your schedule significantly to account for your lower energy levels.
Since anemia makes it more difficult to heal, it is a good idea to avoid situations where you are at greater risk of injury or contagious disease. Avoid contact sports. Wash your hands more frequently and don’t ignore symptoms of illness.
