Tavalisse failed, avatrombopag costs $54K/mo., isn't approved for more than 5 day dosing anyway, and insurance says "No". Everything else has failed so I await an appointment with the specialist in Durham. And my phone/ 'net access is screwed. Wheeee ha ha ha.

How about this to ask the specialist.
Doctor, if it's my liver destroying platelets, what can be done?

Lib, give me some good news. Tell me you take zero Vitamin B9 and that you'd love to try some.
