hi,

i was diagnosed with AA anemia on 6/29/2013. finished ATG on 7/5/2013. for the first month my wbc was 0.1 and ANC was 0.0. I still have been receiving tx of blood and platelets every few days. when my wbc was low for the first month i got a nasty fungal infection that required 6 surgeries, that combined with Not being able go eat on surgery days really weakened me and deconditioned me, not to mention the pain that went along with the infection.

since my wbc has climbed as high as 1.1 but is hovering around 0.8, while ANC has gone as high as 0.5 but is hovering around 0.4.

i have been in the hospital since diagnosis. started on. 225mg of CsA but now im on 150mg after being as low as 125mg. i get my blood drawn to determine CsA level and thats how they adjust my dose. i get two doses a day. i weigh 130 lbs.

also when my counts where lower i was on every antibiotic ever created and my kidneys felt it, creatinine went as high as 2.1 but now has hovered around 1.5.

any advice, opinions or reccomendations would be appreciated.
