PRCA ... very similar experience
Hi How are you doing? Any updates? I am just on Prednisone again. Getting a quick response but in the past no long term effect.
I was diagnosed with PRCA June 2009. I am 60 and healthy except for weekly blood transfusions and now iron overload. On Exjade. Have been treated with antibodies, Rituxin, Prednisone, Cyclosporine & Cyclophosphamide. Prednisone has had the only ibut just sporatically and hasn't functioned/helped over a longer term. 50 - 100mg/day
I just finished cyclophosphamide and they are looking at possible spleen removal or trying tymoglobulin. Any experience with this? Any new treatments?
