I believe I contracted thrombocytopenia because of hepititis b vaccination.
Anyone else have the same experience?

It's listed in the vaccine insert:

Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders
Increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate; thrombocytopenia

I don't think we've had anyone report ITP from the Hep B vaccine lately, but it's been reported for other vaccines. It should be reported to VAERS.

Hi Sandi,

How did you get your ITP into remission?

Mostly luck, I guess. I used Rituxan in 2004 and got a year of remission. I used it again in 2005 (one infusion) and my counts went up and have stayed up. I've been on Prednisone since then for Lupus (varying doses 10 to 15 mg's) so I'm not sure if that helps.

I’m thinking of trying Cbd oil and a little THC.
It’s naturally occurring in the human body as the endo caanbinoid system.
The only thing when you use Cannibis it is coming from the phytocannabinoid system.
I read a few articles on the web. It says it could stimulate platelet production.

We've discussed this before and a few have tried it. Look in the Natural Treatments Section.
