Thank you for the article and I am going to submit both of them to my provider. He honestly has probably read them but hey, why not make sure?
As far as Doptelet, I have not tried it but I think that was the next option after this next round of Rituxan. I think both my doctors are still not sure about it and so they want to give it more time before just prescribing it to me. Also, I can't remember and I can look it up, but is Doptelet another platelet stimulant? I don't have an issue with the production of platelets, it's the destruction I have an issue with so I know that is also a reason I haven't taken or been on certain medications.
Anyway, I see the doctor on Tuesday, so I will for sure be sharing what I find out.
Are your numbers holding? Or are you having fluctuations? I was told, for me, the goal is to stay between 30 and 100 weekly, but as I shared I am bouncing consistently from 12, 28, 5, to 400, 500, 600, and even at one point up to1600 (this was after my first initial shot at a much higher dose) however since then, and the dose reduction, I have received the same dose every time. They are starting to get really concerned though about me clotting because of the spikes.
Thank you again for the information, Talk Soon!
