Hi All,
My son Grant was dx with AA 12/4/98. His disease was stable without transfusions for 7 years following an initial course of ATG (horse). After declining counts in Dec 2005, he had a second course of ATG (rabbit) in January of 2006. He did not respond and has been transfusion dependent on prbcs and platelets since that time.
We are currently planning on a 3rd course of ATG (horse again) in December. In the mean time, we are going to try acupuncture.
This is a new direction for us and I am interested to hear whether anyone else has ever tried this mode of therapy.
This is the URL to an acupuncture journal article below that we found very interesting.
