This was many years ago - but when I saw the specialist at the university hospital here he told me I "would have a splenectomy". That was at least 30 years ago and I still have my spleen.
I'm so sorry your are still in the hospital and your count so low!! I know nothing about Nplate or any of the new treatments - how long does it take for Nplate to kick in if it is going to work??
My understanding is that platelet transfusions don't work because as soon as those platelets enter the body they are tagged with the antibody and the blood cleaning areas in the body then "see" that and destroy them.
I've had a few hematologists over the years - my new one is fantastic, he loves blood and knows a lot about ITP.
I sure hope you get some good news and soon!!
