Lman Lman	MMR and DPT vaccine Hi. For my new university, I am supposed to take MMR and DPT vaccines. I think I have had MMR in childhood, but I might have lost the documents. Is there any idea about these vaccines when someone has ITP? I'm on Nplate. Should I let the university know about my case and ask for a vaccine waiver? For the unvaccinated people, there would be a hold on their course selection. Thanks. Category: General ITP Discussion

MMR and DPT vaccine

Hi.
For my new university, I am supposed to take MMR and DPT vaccines. I think I have had MMR in childhood, but I might have lost the documents. Is there any idea about these vaccines when someone has ITP? I'm on Nplate.
Should I let the university know about my case and ask for a vaccine waiver? For the unvaccinated people, there would be a hold on their course selection.

Thanks.

Luvmycat Luvmycat	Cataract surgery with ITP??? My husband needs cataract surgery, prob next year. Has anyone had this done with ITP? What is an acceptable platelet count for this and did you have to have IVIG or some type of treatment prior to the surgery? Of course, we will check with the doctors involved but just want to get some real-life experience from anyone who's 'been there.' Category: General ITP Discussion

mrsb04 mrsb04	Cholesterol LDL & Platelets I have a healthy diet, mainly plant based with the odd bit of dairy and fish twice a week. I rarely eating red meat and was gutted to discover my Lipid levels were elevated after a routine test at GPs. Having had a long discussion with the GP practice pharmacist the cause of my dyslipidaemia has been determined as 8 years of Prednisolone so I am now taking statins which are working. Annoyingly the damage is irreversible so I'm stuck on statins for life. Category: General ITP Discussion

MelA MelA	Diagnosed with a clot Jay when thought I had a DVT it was due to an overseas flight [Colorado to San Francisco to Tokyo], my platelet count wasn't even near 100k and I was on prednisone - not sure why because we always walked around the plane and did not just sit. By the time I got to my hematologist in Tokyo the swelling was down at my knee and it was no longer red & hot so there is a question as to whether it was or wasn't a DVT but it was put in my chart as a DVT.

delta809 delta809	Cholesterol LDL & Platelets Thanks all! I was able to drop my LDL significantly within a couple of months by returning to a more healthy diet. Also cut out red meat and less animal protein and exercising again. No statins needed says doc. I did try the pantethine briefly but it made me feel uneasy and jittery.

paulferi paulferi	Cholesterol LDL & Platelets Studies have shown a positive correlation between levels of Non-HDL C (like LDL) and platelet count. In fact, high Non-HDL C produces thrombocytosis (too many platelets) in mice. Right now I'm actually trying to increase my LDL intake to see if it helps my platelet count. If you want to lower your LDL, you should try Moducare Sterinol, a combination of plant sterols, it is recommended in the supplements section of PDSA as benefiting platelets and also reducing LDL. www.pdsa.org/vitamins-supplements.html Take care!
