It turned out I had severe aplastic anemia. My platelet count was at 16. Other cell counts really low too. I was treated with. ATGAM, cyclosporine, and Promacta.
Good Luck and best wishes!

Hi @elenarey77 Welcome to Mayo Connect! Thank you for sharing your experience with Aplastic Anemia. That’s a very serious disease where the bone marrow isn’t producing blood cells…not just red cells but white blood cells and platelets too, as you experienced. So it’s very positive and encouraging to hear that you’ve had success with the medications!
Will you be on these for life or has it reversed the disease completely?
