Took my Wednesday platelets to work today after getting Shot #2 of the neutrophil accelerator drug. That sucker is quite uncomfortable in the soft back of my arm... but hopefully it works... it will help me keep from catching infections.
Wednesday platelet count was 3K... not a happy data point after the 8K Monday, but it simply means that it's time to keep marching onward.
New treatment in play... CellCept for immune system inhibition combined with IVIG to address B-cell issues. The result... I'm not sure. The idea is to use a Level 3 suppression approach to knock back the all-powerful immune system. I'm really not ready to take this, and I haven't filled the prescription yet... but I will and maybe I'll start on Monday. I don't like starting new things before a weekend.
