From my son's experience, yes, but then, I live in Canada. He was initially diagnosed with Mod AA from a nosebleed that wouldn't stop after 1+hr. and his platelets were 44 then; they have since rose to 105, but he still suffers from them frequently. They're not as long lasting now and thus, less debilitating, but a nuisance nonetheless and everytime, his platelets have been stable. As a possible suggestion, his doctors told him to swab Vaseline in his nostrils at bedtime which since he has been doing that, we haven't had much issue with nosebleeds, although if he gets sick with a cough or cold, then he's fairgame. We also have a humidifier and air purifier in his room, specifically.
