Red face Platelets

Hi All ! Well last week things went alittle badlly. I woke up on the 11th with coughing and a sharp pain on my right side which I guess now I know first hand what pregnancy is all about. I'm on 100mg of prednisone daily for my platelets and I thought maybe I was toxic , but I went to Moffitt in Tampa and was admitted with pneumonia and of all things I passed a kidney stone, what A DAY ! They placed me on antiobotics and today my platelets rose to 113,000 up from 109,000 last week.And thankfully I feel better today. But Nancy no one has mentioned a transfusion as yet, the prednisone has worked thus far. The 1st time I took it I became very energetic but this time I got the bloat, ravinous eating and infection . So what's next ? I hope all of you are well and I'll talk with you again soon. I go to Tampa on the 25th so hopefully things will have improved by then !!! Mike
