Could my issues be Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia??

I have had fatigue for the last several years. I had mono in high school about 5 years ago and I believe I have just never completely bounced back. The fatigue has lingered. It gets worse and better, but it is always there. I have been told I get very pale and look sick all the time, this has also been for years, but getting worse as time goes on. This also gets a little better and worse at times, but is usually something people comment on regularly. I have had low grade fevers at least once a month, usually last about a week, for the past 9-10 months. When my temp gets higher, I usually get a rash that is slightly itchy but not raised, mostly on my face, chest, neck, and arms. I also just feel like crap, my joints get somewhat achy, I get extra fatigued, I hate going in the sun for longer than absolutely necessary because it causes the rash as well. Even riding in a car with the sun beating in, that side on my face and arm gets rash-y and make me feel feverish. I have no idea what is going on and this is getting worse as time goes on. I get full quickly, and my appetite isn't always the greatest.
I had back surgery almost 6 weeks ago and at that time I had a drastic drop in my blood levels following surgery, despite not a large amount of blood loss. I had a blood transfusion and things got better. However, in my other routine labs over the last year or 2 I have had low normal levels of RBC, HCT and HGB but nothing ever low enough to alarm my physicians. My inflammatory markers aren't suggestive of anything. I had a CT of my chest, abd, and pelvis that didn't show anything except a slightly enlarged spleen, and several enlarged abdominal lymph nodes. My doctor wasn't concerned by anything. Those images were taken during a fever episode and I think it might be connected. When preparing for my surgery my surgeon ran a type and screen in case I needed a transfusion, which was a good thing. My tests came back abnormal. I have warm autoantibodies and a positive Coombs test.
I guess my question is could my body have adapted to the hemolysis over time making my levels appear normal while there is actually something going on. Autoimmune diseases are rampant in my family and I feel like this could answer a lot of my questions and concerns, but I know it wouldn't be a typical case seeing as my levels aren't crazy low. I am confused and I am not getting anywhere with my dr. I don't see him again until April, and that is just my yearly physical.

Thank you for any advice or thoughts you have.

Hello~I suggest you see a Naturopathic physician, they go into detail lots more than conventional doctors and are able to prescribe drugs or meds as well. You may need some good, organic supplements along with other therapies.
