Welcome to our world. I am an avid tennis players. And, when all this first happened to me, I had to give up my singles contract for one season, because with the anemia it was too hard for me and simply not fun. So, I understand your frustration. But, I am back at tennis now and playing some of my best matches every.
you need to be patient to find out what the diagnosis is. Sometimes it takes a while. Some of the bone marrow failure diseases are similar and could simply be autoimmune disease also. Patience is so key here, unfortunately. Just be careful with your low platelets, because a big injury can be serious w/low platelets. Neither "cyclosporine or Prednizone " are cures. Only potential cure is a bone marrow transplant, (IF you have bone marrow failure), and then there is the GVHD, (graft versus host disease)...
This is a great forum to get information from, so keep looking!
