rschem,
You should consider Vitamin D3 drops, I was taking 2000 - 2500 IU's, every other day for a while, and it seemed to help... I tested borderline vitamin D deficient, just a couple of weeks ago (early October), but I've been taking it since August... My PLT's skyrocketed, but I've also been on Dacogen (Chemo, which no doubt affected my PLT's also, if not primarily)... Also there are a few threads on here regarding alternative remedies such as papaya leaves and extracts which are also supposed to help... Deficiencies appear to play a big role in MDS and anemeas in general (from what I've read)....
Best of luck, and God Bless...
