Well on 11/10/11 I was at 202k now at 165k. I know alot of ITPers pray for a count of this level. Still a decent count. I just hope the Rituxin is not loosing it's stamina and the counts keep dropping!!!
Have to remember to stay positive.

Dean - I've dropped after Rituxan and went down to the 60's, but rebounded back up to over 150 without treatment. Anything can happen.

Dean, my count dropped at one point too but it bounced back up. Same as Sandi says, but mine was around 100 when I noticed the drop, it had been over 200. My doctor was already planning my next treatment with me since I had never gone back up before but we waited and it went right back up! Since you have counts in the normal range you have a really good chance of having a sustained remission, years.
