Hi, yes I have copper infusions routinely now. Unfortunately, due to my chromosomal problem it causes an inability to metabolise copper properly and I pass it out in my urine so I have to be given copper regularly.

It does work to keep my counts up but they seem to be slowly trending down despite the copper. I've had copper infusions for over three years now so I think I've responded well.

I've also tested low for B12, Vit A, Vit C, Vit D despite being on replacement tablets and injections.

I think it's fair to say that my bone marrow problems must be related to nutritional deficiencies.
