It took three bone marrow biopsies before PRCA was determined. This was after the sample was sent to the local medical school.
My PRCA is from autoimmune causes, so treatments are designed to lower my immune system.
IVIG - This worked but took time, costs lots of money, and only lasted about three weeks.
Cyclosporine/Prednisone in various doses. This worked until I had surgery on December 4, 2007. Now we are trying increasing the dose of Cyclosporine.
Also various treatments to prevent loss of blood from hemorrhoids and urological causes.
I also got shingles from the lowered immune system and now have postherpetic neuralgia (but not too bad).
