Low white blood platelets.

A friend of mine has had a recurring condition of low white platelets for over 12 months now. She can get down to as low a count of 6. She tried homoeopathic remedies but was taking cortisone as well. I have tried to antidote this with cortisone 200. Her doctors are now suggesting having the spleen taken out, apparently the spleen becomes overactive and destroys the platelets almost as quickly as the platelets are created. She has been told the operation only has a 60% success rate and her immune system will be compromised. She would also have to be on medication for the rest of her life. This does not sound like a good option.
My friend is 50 years old, her zodiac sign is Cancer.
First symptoms were bruising on arms, and legs after a period of emotional stress.
Mentals: very protective of controlling her home environment, anxiety when speaking which makes her stutter, anxiety after mental exertion, fear of unknown, claustraphobic - must have windows open.
Heart: Palpitations when lying on back
Sleep: Falls asleep at night when watching TV. Wakes and goes to bed about midnight and often rises at 4:30am.
Skin: Bruising on legs, arms, across chest on bra line. Bleeds a lot if she cuts herself. Itchy rash on palms of hands and soles of feet.Rash starts as little brown dots which become watery, pussy and then bleed after scratching. She has been rubbing Vitamin A cream with albizzia, golden seal and chammomile into this which is nearly cleared up.
Initially she was given Arsenicum, the theory behind this was to change the refractive index of the blood. Can someone give me some ideas please.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Bruising is probably due to then cover to the capilliaries .

This on turn suggests a family genetic tendency to TB .

Calcarea Carb is the closest to this miasm. But Nat mur has been used for various aenemias .

As the problem seems to be in the spleen -- query-- one of the glandular remedies may be better.

Such as Pineal 6x.
