Hi Matt

So i started my H-atg in January 2016. They gave me eltrombopag from day 1 of treatment. I had very few side effects from it, I think most of my issues came from the cyclosporine. And even that, I can`t complain. I made sure I drank alot to keep my liver and kidneys flushed.
In July, they took me off the eltrombopag, since the trial only allowed it for 6 months. At that time my platelets were 237,000. They since have continuously dropped, to a low of 137,000. But just last week, they rose again. So happy to say, all my numbers were in the normal range last week, for the first time in over 10 years!!
I`m not sure if that answers any of the questions you have, but if not, let me know!

take care,
Jackie
