itching and AA
I have had AA for 10 years this June and 5 years ago I started to become itchy and get rashes when I came into contact with feathers (down) and very strong colognes ie AXE and the same type. I have gone to allergist to no avail. Now my tongue and throat will swell if I smell chemicals and whatever else. I don't know what to do. Before the ATG I really didn't have any allergies. Now my counts are dropping really fast and I'm looking for a donor for BMT. I'm not on any meds for AA but have transfusions every month, if I can hold out a month now. My platelets now are 4000, and red cells around 6, white around 2, humacrit between 14 - 17.
My brother is being cross matched now, but if he's not a match do you think my children could be a match?
Any info would really help -- thanks --Lynn
