The splenectomy works for some people my levels fluctuate between 20 to 40 thousand.. have U been tested for h plyroi? Recently studies show its causes low platelets.
Hope this helps
sheri .. what is plyroi ?????????? i am weaning down off the prednsione ( 10 mg. ) and see if the promacta can keep me up ????????? do you take meds to keep you at 20 / 40 thousand ??? need a cure ... god bless all .. jimmy
sheri .. so you get brusing ??? great you don't have to take meds but 20k is really low ?????????? I am betting on the promacta .. we shall see .. where r u ?? Canada ???
occasionally but not often, I am in the Bahamas, am at 48000 today
I had my spleen removed and it made no difference to my platelet count. I would advise against having a splenectomy. Nicky
Plyori is a bacteria in stomach... No I take no meds ..
