Sorry another question lol, has anyone had success with anti D immunoglobin or WinRHo?
High pulse
dexamethasone
is losing its efficacy so my next emergency treatment is anti d immunoglobin. Has anyone tried it, what are the side effects and has it worked for anyone? Tbh I'm so fed up with ITP even if it lasted a few weeks I would be over the moon.

Travelling by plane and low platelets? Does a menstrual cycle lower platelets?
After three pulses of high dose
dexamethasone
, my platelets have crashed once again, down to 20. However my petechiae is looking a bit redder and spreading a bit and I've started my period since then so Im wondering if its decreased further due to this?

I have been suffering from an itchy scalp which produces dry flaky skin and a red rash, for around five years now.
I have been prescribed betamethasone valerate and apply it several times a week. I cannot get the bottom of what causes it and my GP is not interested. can anyone help? Should i be taking the steroid long term?

Had eosinophlic meingitis 10/8/13, had NECC betamethasone injection Sept 21,2013. 40 days in hosp. now I have spinal fluid leaking
forming a cyst??? about the size of a lemon. I think the diag'd it as eosinophilic, to keep it under the radar. Statistics, for NECC show not one meningitis case in Connecticut. but here I am. That diagnosis is like saying you a diagnosis of a a sneeze, when you really have pneumonia Hand tremors

Whole brain radiation?
Dad has been started on
dexamethasone
& morphine, and the pain in his back is under better control now Dad has never smoked so hoping may be an EGFR mutation thing going on as Iressa has already been talked about.
