We were optimistic that the IV-Ig treatments our daughter had earlier this month would kick start her platelet system into working like it should. She had some unpleasant side effects from the treatment that included a migraine and some shakiness, but she recovered reasonably quickly from those. At her blood test about four days after the infusions, her platelet count 283K (normal is 150K to 400K). Yesterday, it had plummeted to 44K. That's a drop of 240K in just one week.
Well FOO, indeed. (I actually uttered another F-bomb but that's not gonna get printed here!)
Plan is to monitor her weekly for three more weeks, then go from there. Her hematologist assures her that he does have a Plan C, D, E..... But, what that is, dunno.
