    • Close Thrombocytopenic Purpura

      Okay, so i had been feeling drowsy/sick for a while and had reocurring sores in my mouth and always had bad bruising but i never thought anything of it! so i got extended blood work done and on my 15th birthday i was admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks and found that i have itp. however i have another auto immune disease because my white blood cells dropped also! which means i'm neutropenic.

      Treatments

      Cellcept Somewhat Helpful
      they worked sort of but once taken off my counts dropped drastically. and if u try to stop them automatically they make you sick.
      Rapamune Working / Worked
      ive been on rapamune since this summer. its working quite well!!! only think it reacts with bactrum...so i had an allergic reaction and have to apply steroid cream.
