For me after the first few platelet transfusions that the platelets would be depleated very rapidly. To have 30 plateletes one day and 4 the next is not uncommon. I was given Amicar to help with clotting. It is a unpleasant tasting medicine but it helps with the bleeding. It took me 5 months to start responding after ATG and cyclosporine treatment. I now have 58 platelets where for months I had 7-8. I fould that unless I was actively bleeding avoiding the transfusions was a good thing. Ask about Amicar.
