AFTER I LEFT THE HOSPITAL I WENT AND SEEN 4 DIFFERENT HEMOTOLOGIST AND ALL SAID THAT I HAD TO TAKE MY SPLEEN OUT. I REFUSED, I KNEW THEY HAD TO BE SOMETHING SIMPLIER THEN SURGERY. THEY SAID THAT MY PLATELET COUNT COULDN'T GET ANY LOWER THEN 1,000. GUESS WHAT THEY WERE WRONG. MY PLATELETS CAME BACK AT 0. bUT I WAS NOT BLEEDING AT ALL. AS ONE DOCTOR SAID I SHOULD BE A PILE OF BLOODY GOO. SO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL I WENT. THEY KEPT ME ONE NIGHT AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU. IF YOU HAPPEN TO DIE, WE KNOW YOU WOULD RATHER DIE AT HOME. I'M NOT JOKING... THAT WAS THE DRS WORDS.
BUT I AM A FIGHTER. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT ITP CAN BE CAUSE FROM LOW LEVELS OF VITAMIN K. IT HAS ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF ITP. GUESS WHAT I WENT BACK TO MY DOCTOR ASKED FOR THE BLOOD TEST AND SURE ENOUGH IT CAME BACK LOW. I ASKED THEM TO PLACE ME ON A PRENATAL VITAMIN THAT WILL ALSO HAVE OMEGA 3'S. BUT I AM NO EASY GIRL I AM ALLERGIC TO FISH AND A LOT OF PRENATALS OMEGAS ARE MADE FROM FISH OIL. BUT THEY FOUND ONE!!! IT IS CALLED PRENEXA AND THE OMEGAS ARE FROM PLANTS.
MY PLATELET COUNTS HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS 240,000 TO AS LOW AS 175,000 (DEPENDING ON THAT TIME OF THE MONTH). PLEASE I AM TELLING YOU ALL THIS SO YOU CAN KEEP FIGHTING FOR YOURSELF. DON'T GIVE UP. IF I DID MY SPLEEN WOULD BE OUT AND I REALLY WOULD NOT HAVE ANY IMMUNE SYSTEM.
I REALLY THOUGHT ALL HOPE WAS LOST. BUT HOPE WAS NOT LOST...
