My boss brought some King Cake into work today (but the baby was sitting on top, they apparently don't put them in anymore b/c of a choking hazard) and I yeilded to temptation and had some. Now I'm suffering from some SERIOUS sugar crash. Happy Mardi Gras everyone!

Hi,
When I read about King Cake I wondered where you were writing from. I'm in Houston but originally from La. so I'm into King Cakes.....Ha! I've had ITP for about 6 or 7 years...I lose count of the years! My present count is about 30k.....I just started Promacta 2 days ago and am enjoying the new discussion groups. I've only had prednisone and one double, back-to-back round of IVIG. No spleen removed....hopefully in 2 weeks I'll be over 75k and that will be great for me.
Take care,
:cheer:

I live and work in Copperfield. I also know a lady with ITP who works with a friend of mine(in Copperfield). My doctor says that he has about 6 or 7 patients that have ITP and live around me. I wish that there was a group that would meet here in Houston. There are probably enough people here with ITP to have more than one group! :cheer:
