I appreciate any and all information about raising the platelet count. I hope to try giving my husband shark liver oil, melatonin and sesame seed oil. At present, he is platelet transfusion and PRBC dependent. He suffers from frequent mild to profuse nosebleeds, which are difficult to control. Platelet transfusions help. In addition, I find that if I can control his hypertension, his nosebleeds tend to be less serious. I have tried juicing fresh pineapples for him, but they cause mouth sores. He seems to tolerate frozen pineapple juice and will take it with reluctance.
I am grateful for any and all suggestions. I should add that my husband's counts are all very low and that he tires easily and sleeps or dozes a good part of the day.
