Believe it! What else can be said. He will stay on the same dose of Nplate this week. No side effects and tolerating the weekly injections quite well.

OMG - this is great news. I never thought that I would see a post where Tim had a count of over 50, never mind having one that is over 100. How wonderful for you.

I am so glad to hear that things are working well with the NPlate, and no side effects. Hooray.

Thanks everyone. I guess I think that things always have to look up eventually, so I knew it would happen, it was just a question of how long. I'm hoping maybe this will give his body time and a chance to recover a bit and find a remission. IDK, since he's not responded to other meds, I wonder how much of his ITP is a function of his bone marrow not producing enough platelets. I'm hoping he can maybe come out of the destruction/production conundrum.

Donna - you mentioned bone marrow - I assumed that Tim has had a bone marrow test in the past ??? If not, it is worth getting it. If there is a problem in the bone marrow, then other things need to be looked at. (I am sure that you know all this, so I won't continue).

I hope things continue to imrove!!!!
