Hi Bill,
Interesting detail about you vomiting at low platelets. I guess it cleared up a question that was nagging me. My son (he was 5 at the time) started to vomit out of the blue 3 mo into the ATG treatment. He also had petichiae under his eyes and his vomit tested positive for blood (very small amounts). At that time we were trying to minimize platelet transfusions, hoping for a response (which thank God happened after all). So we would let him go 10 or below before transfusions. Well, I clearly remember that I was a bit unhappy with our doctor decision to transfuse him at 20 after one such vomiting episode occurred in the hospital. Reading your story, she was right, I was wrong!
I'm curious, since this seems to happen only to certain patients, did you have a history of frequent heartburn, ulcers or similar prior to your AA diagnosis? I'm asking because the males in my husband's family seem predisposed to such thing.
