RE to Scuba Dive

Hi. I am remission for AA, I guess. So far, so good. I was thinking about the Hep. B shots you had. Some speculate that could possibly be a cause of AA, along with many other possibilities. Beneze seems to top the list. That along with a virus. Which one, has never been specified it seems. Don't drive youself crazy trying to figure it out though. But as suggested, best to register with AA-MDS to help figure this disease out.
Also, by what I gather, most AA people were very healthy before diagnosis. Strange, but that is how it seems.
I took ATG for a very short remission. After that, I took ALG with a much longer remission. It isn't easy, but it is worth it.
Oh, you can also try www.aplasticcentral.com as another helpful site.
Good luck!
Connie
