question: My problem is that my blood system is not working right, at the moment, some months in fact causing me to have blood transfusion about every three weeks, iron I now ok but still not working, blood count ranges from 73,83, even after transfusion, so now trying Prednisolone 25mg if this might give the system a kick start. I am 87 years old and have never taken more than a light wine, this has just started this last year after a bowel operation for a cancerous node and a heart pacemaker this has occurred in the last year, prior to that I had een in good health
