Thanks for the update Laura.
Sounds like you're in very good hands there. I like the sounds of their plans, it seems well thought out.
About your crazy rashes...it could be Parvo, which could temporarily cause marrow suppression (and can cause AA but we won't go there), but Lupus can cause similar rashes, especially butterfly-like on the face, and there is an association with that elevated ssa/ro antibody you were speaking of earlier. I don't wish any others issues on you, obviously, but I know you like any and all ideas and I would to, that's how we nurses role
Hoping those platelets keep on rising, could be the prednisone doing that.
Have a good sleep tonight, answers are on the way!
