Amber I see that you have taken Promacta in the past. May I ask why you stopped taking it?

Thoughts, wishes and prayers for you. Rituxan worked for me for about 6-8 months also and now into the low 20's and dropping . The Doc is talking about spleen removal too. I haven't had the bleeding like you, but I get the fatique, headaches and bruising with some depression.I've had ITP for 3 years and ya think i would get used to it (wrong). I hope your family understands the roller coaster ride that your going through and support you (it helps). Good luck and keep us updated.

I am back on the Promacta the doctor called the Rx company and they said to be on it no less than for 4 weeks. Last time he only had me on it for 2 weeks, today is my 7th day being on it @75mg. Plus been juicing since Sunday with beets and kale and other goodness.
