Is your WBC low too? Or is your immune system depressed from the steroids?

I had this from 13-19. I was doing IVIG every other week but it wasn't keeping my counts up long enough, considering the cost. The headaches afterward are the worst. That and the TV options. Are you admitted to a hospital room or do they make you go down to the day room? I was outpatient so I always got stuck in the day/chemo room watching "price is right" with the old folks.

I've been in remission 10 years, ever since my splenectomy, which brought its own problems (namely infection).

How did you find out you had ITP?

So if I put out a cooler with water and cokes or something and a note on top, the garbage men will appreciate it and not be weirded out or think I'm trying to poison them? My GF and I have actually argued about this.
