My husband was dx w/AA in 09/2003, had ATG, cyclosporine, some severe complications (sepsis for one). In spring of 2004 his doctor put him on Halotestin (off other meds) and for him it worked. Life slowly got back to 'normal' & he was taken of the Halotestin. Platelets & whites always low but a few times his Reds have actually gone too high. His blood thickens up & he has to have a phlebotomy. Most recent HGB was 16.9 (02/19) which for him must be too high so they did a phleb. He still feels awful though.. His white ct was 3.8, platelets 120,000.
We are going thru some extremely stressful times with our daughter right now. Any idea if this stress could be causing problems or how to even begin to handle it besides hiding everything stressful from him (as if I could).? I don't think I have ever heard of anyone with an AA dx actually having too much HGB????
