Hi, I stopped having copper treatments because I became sensitised (requiring Dexamethasone, Hydrocortisone, Phenergan etc) to them and I was requiring more and more just to maintain the same blood level.
I received a phone call from the doctor 15 minutes ago and he said the Hb level would be an accurate reading because it should be measurable within half an hour of the transfusion. I have to have another blood test on Monday and depending on the result, perhaps another transfusion. My neuts were 0.17, platelets 110 (good).
I guess the question I was trying to ask was.....how/why do blood transfusions stop working? I have read other posts where people have stopped having transfusions because they "stopped working".
My doctor said we have some important things to discuss and I want to be prepared.
My dog and cats are demanding some attention, better go.
Regards
Chirley
