My Wife AA treatment

Thanks Matthew42 and Triumphe64 for your kind words and suggestions regarding Danazol.
We might request doctor to try again after some time.
My wife hemoglobin was down to 8.3 few weeks back. Doctor decided to give her blood transfusion on 10/7/22 as she was feeling weak. On 10/18/22 her hemoglobin came up to 10.4 which was a good improvement even though transfused blood stays in the body for 4 weeks. her white cell count has improved to 3.1 on 10/18/22 blood test however her platelet is still staying around 13,000- ten days after transfusion so she needs platelets every 10 days. She is on higher dosage of Promacta ( 125mg) and tacrolimus ( 3 mg)
which may be helping her.

Are there any food supplements you know of which may help platelet count.
I read some articles on Reishi Mushroom extract which is supposed to help but afraid to try due to possibility of interaction with her regular medicines.
Also she has lack of appetite and nausea . She takes Zofran and Ativan alternatively to relieve nausea, any other suggestion you may have to combat it.
