Hi, hope things will go well for you. I understand that that drug is being used more and more for auto immune problems. I think I read it's being used for Crohns and or ulcerative colitis.

My brother was diagnosed with ITP for many years and then I read about Lupus causing platelet problems and asked my brother to ask his doctor for a test. He came back as being highly positive for Lupus. I forget the ratios now, something like 1:64 is low positive.....well his was something like 1:1600 or higher.

Just something for you to think about.
