Lynn,
I am also Rh negative and after the birth of my first daughter, I was given a injection to prevent my antibodies to Rh factor from destroying the baby's blood cells during subsequent pregnancies. Were you given anything? I am sorry to hear what you went though.
I suspect that my immune system has been out of wack for a long time too. I faxed a letter to my transplant doctor regarding the characteristics of autoimmune driven MDS. Hoping to hear a response soon. I woke to a burst blood vessel near my collarbone this morning and I don't remember doing anything to cause it. I fear my platelets have dropped into the teens...off to the lab for another CBC.
Jill
