I agree with John. We may never get a definitive answer on what is causing AA, however you need to take action immediately to see if you can begin to control this yourself. Just a word of caution would be to work with your practitioner to avoid doing something that would cause a faster decline in your counts.
Kathryn had hi-dose Cytoxan @ Hopkins and we did not have the luxury of slow deteriorating counts. First visit to the ER showed 4,000 platelets. While she was being treated, I began searching and found an acupuncturist/herbalist doctor in DC who is on my radar in the event her counts begin to deteriorate.
Here's his info:
Wu Shi Hua Omd MD - (202) 789-5466
807 6th St NW
Washington, DC 20001
Hope this helps.
