thanx kirby and brig

Thanx Kirby and brig for your valuable inputs, my father is on 100 mg dose per day. Yes he is also facing severe constipation problem, he has been on the drug for last 12 das but no response yet. He has two platelet transfusions SDP and one blood tranfsusion after starting with thalidomide. He is also feeling very weak , fatigue and tired , is it due to thalidomide ? he never felt this weak even at 6.5 Hb, but at 8 hb he is feeling worse then that. Even the platelet being transfused are not giving much of response. they are not even lasting 4 days. (SDP is from apherisis from single donor on cell seperator machine). Will revolade (promacta) be of any help ? our doctors are not recommedning it and says that it wont be of any use ?

regrds
