My niece come down near auto immune anemia. She is lone 13 yrs.antediluvian. Any answers?
Dr's say it's something some young girls get. Don't know what could enjoy brought it on. But, her white cells be attacking the red blood cells. We donated blood and the Dr's said they wouldn't supply it to her. Because it's like feed the white cells. So, she is on steroids, which I don't effort for. Any insight on the causes?
Answer:
I hold never heard that autoimmune anemia is majority for some teenage girls. I dont reflect on that doctor knows what he is conversation about. Has she be tested for other autoimmune disorders like lupus? Getting a correct diagnosis for autoimmune diseases can be difficult and alot of doctors any dont know about it or dismiss it altogether. People walk years and years without a diagnosis or attain told "its all surrounded by your head"
I would suggest the she get tested for lupus and other autoimmune diseases. For more information run to WebMD and look it up. http://www.webmd.com/hw/anemia/nord771.asp and http://www.webmd.com/hw/lupus/hw123406.asp
Is she eating all right?
My roommate was not long diagnosed with auto immune swelling, maybe this is the same point that your niece is experiencing. My roommate went to see an allergist and be put on 3 different medications to comfort prevent her from swelling up. The doctor put her on Allegra, Zyrtec and Axid. When she takes those 3 meds as prescribed she doesn't receive swollen at all. But as soon as she stops taking those medication, she is sure to swell, usually her tongue or her hands for sure. So, she starts taking the 3 medication again and voila, the swelling goes away. It took sometime for her to find out what cause the swelling including a few trips to the emergency room where they would put an IV within her with some allergy drug in them. I hope this help with your niece and possibly she can go to an allergist and find what medication can work for her as well.
I know of a patented vitamin supplement that uses fructose compounding to seize minerals into the cells and procure the anemia under control. Proper nutrition will fix the problem because it will backing the body recognize the self destructive problem of a auto immune disease.
