Thanks for the update. I am sorry Caryn is down. Please tell her all her friends here are cheering for her and she is in our prayers.
I wonder if she wants to try a few things? I used to have a lot of digestive issues. Digestive enzymes (including papaya) are available from most health food stores and some pharmcies. Yoghurt with all its's friendly bacteria can help the stomach, esophagus, and other digestive organs. Liquid iron can help the red blood including the hemoglobin and platelets. It is usually available at pharmcies and health food stores. Iron pills can cause constipation. Some foods and blackstrap molasses has iron. Also doctors can prescribe transfusions of platelets. I have been taking liquid iron every day for years. I never needed a blood transfusion or shots due to low blood counts from cancer treatment. I depend on daily yoghurt and occassionally digestive enzymes. Occassionally I take supplements with the same friendly bacteria that is in yoghurt.
Hugs and prayers for Caryn.
