Q&A: autoimmune hemolytic anemia?
Question by atia408: autoimmune hemolytic anemia?
My sister recently fell ill and needed 2 blood transfusions withing a month.She was just diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The doc put her on prednisone. She has had some reaction to the drug (severe joint pain). I know that it has no cure-according to western medicine.My question is are there any natural supplements that can help slow her immune system rather than this synthetic one with numerous side effects? ANY input will be HIGHLY appreciated.Thank you.

I’ve had autoimmune hemolytic anemia since I was fourteen and there really isn’t a herbal alternative. I am now twenty four and have been on prednisone for ten years. There are lots of other drugs available. My guess is that as soon as she becomes controlled the doctor will start to taper the medication which will reduce some of the pain. If the symptoms become unbareable then I would contact her doctor so her treatment could be changed. However, prednisone is the best drug to start with. It works the quickest
