Tami, When my quickly taping prednisone, his plt dropped from 168k to 110k in 3 weeks. At that time, I just prayed everyday. I knew your feeling. For his case, his SAA casued by hepatitis, when stopped prednisone, after two weeks, his ALT jump up from 6 to over 40. His plt was fluctuated between 110k -130k half year. And his plt just back to 150k after two years. For him, carrot juice is the key. Two years ago, I didn't know carrot juice, but I remembered I gave him V8 two and three time aday, after one week, his plt back from 110k to 130k, I don't know if V8 really play a big role there. But since I started carrot juice for him last year, I think he started to get better. I posted his story at
