serum sickness

Hi everyone:
My platelets have been around 3 to 6, but Tues they went to 2 and Friday thet went to 19. Now Monday they went to 5 again. They are spiking and trying to work. I have been though so much and practically lived at the hospital for 5 months, I have such bad reactions to meds, so I'm afraid to take the cyclosporine because everything I have taken before brought my counts down. Does the cyclo bring your count down before they respond because I don't have much to work with? I had a BMB to see if I had ITP also because they wanted to give me Rituxan but I didn't. It's not FDA approved for AA.
My brain bleeds are stopping, one was a hemorage and that is why I was getting such pressure and pain in my head, but after the last MRI the pain got worse again for about a week. The report said that the bleeds were interfering with signals. I still get some pain from the large bleed.
Thanks, Lynn
