Just a quick update. Rich went for a check up 3 weeks ago. Apparently, he had already been checked for Lupus and thyroid deficiency but as it was 12 months ago, he's been tested again. He is now on prednisolone as a thereputic trial to see if it raises his blood counts. Although he felt nauseous and a bit wobbly to start with, it's gradually getting better. He has another visit to the consultant next week to see how it's going.
Also good news, he is going back to work, initially 2 days a week. Things are looking up
