Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi all, My mother suddenly started getting bruises in some locations in her body for no reason. In addition to bruises she started getting small red spots, tiny spots on legs and hands. Doctors said it is due to reduced platelet count. Doctors then diagonized the condition as Purpura. She has been given Immunoglobin doses and also some steriods. But her count will be ok for one or two days like 1 lakh to 1.5 lakhs and then again it drops to a very dangerous level of below 10000. Doctors are advising removal of spleen as they are telling that spleen is eating up all the platelets. She doesn't have Dengue fever. Tests have confirmed that. Can anyone throw some light on the same as to why this condition occurs. Is there any other way of increasing the platelet count in any system of medicine . Any kind of natural medicines will help her in any way. Please advise, this is very urgent. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Aruna ______________________________\ ____ Fussy?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Depending on the gravity of the situation, I think for the homeopathic type of treatment, it may be necessary to know the history of medication and the change of food habit etc. if any, over the last one month or so and may be a homeopath will like to start with a polycrest like Nux Vomica or Sulphur at bed time for two or three days before taking up the case in detail.Aruna Lingegowda <arunal wrote: Hi all, My mother suddenly started getting bruises in some locations in her body for no reason.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 i am not sure whether this will help at all but i know of one child who was on Ritalin and then got low white blood cell count --- so sometimes it can be the medicine they are taking for one thing causes a problem in another part. was your mother on any medicine, at all? otherwise there is a very good site called net doctor - it might not answer all your questions but in case it helps here is the address: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/ttp.htm elly > > Aruna Lingegowda <arunal wrote: Hi all, > > My mother suddenly started getting bruises in some > locations in her body for no reason.
