I know of one disorder, I happened to have experienced it myself; at an extremely young age. It was Aplastic anemia, I was two years old and I spent over a year in the hospital. I'm now 19 and healthy as anyone; if not more; I NEVER get sick. However, I did stop growing in the 8th grade (fun right?). Aplasticanemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells. The condition, per its name, involves both aplasia and anemia.
