Many questions
Hi Teo,
I will try to answer your questions:
1 All infections can decrease all counts.
2 I have never heard that it isn't OK to get BT if you have an infection.
3 Ferriprox was during many years not approved in the US because it can decrease WBC - I tried that drug and got very low WBC. I think more patients tolerate Exjade (that can decrease WBC too).
4 All the tests you have listed should be controlled - ALAT and ASAT are the best liver tests.
5 About Vitamin C: When I started iron chelation (with Desferal) I should start to take Vitamin C after one month not initially.
6 The question of B12 and folate is not so important - your mother can take the vitamins.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
