Thank you for the update. It is a surprise to me if you truly suffer myelopathy due to acquired copper deficiency. Did you have anemia and leukopenia when this condition was diagnosed. What is the risk factor identified as the reason for the copper deficiency? Unfortunately not all cases do response well with copper replacement.
