Wow, you've been through a lot! I hope things improve and stabilize and your recovery goes well.
I have been in crisis mode for an autoimmune disease called ITP since December. This is the second time in less than a year that I've been in such a position. When it happens, they start with prednisone. The next step is a chemotherapy drug called Rituximab. That's what worked for me the first crisis. My platelet count went back up to normal. The second time, my platelet count was lower (5-10 for 2 months) and absolutely nothing worked. I was on prednisone with no effect. I did Rituximab treatments with no effects. I tried a medication called Promacta with no effect. Then my platelet count dropped. I got an emergency referral to surgery to have my spleen removed. Before I could have surgery, I had to go thru IVIg treatments to bring my platelet count up so that surgery would be safe. I had surgery on the 22nd and am at home recovering now. My platelet count has gone up and I really hope it stays up. Continued good thoughts are much appreciated!

Absolutely...all good thoughts from me to get yourself healthy. As we say for the dogs, hope your recovery will be uneventful from here on out!
I did have to giggle. Apparently anesthesia binds you up so. I've been watching my poops just like I do with the dogs ha ha ha!

Thats a lot, hoping that you return to your normal being.
Prayers for you.
That sounds awful. Good wishes you get over this once and for all. I bet brushing Maverick is good, calming therapy.

It is. He just kind of sits there. Bear is a bit more wiggly. Plus you should've seen their faces when DH told them they couldn't sleep with us when I came home. That was love and devastation right there! Of course I have since caved, but they seem to know where mom is sore and to not be too crazy with me.
