Lisa,
Keep in mind that when I went to the hospital with platelets below the 10K mark closer to 5K that I was first diagnosed with TTP(Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

. Thats when they started the Plasmapheresis treatments, I continued on these treatments for approximately two months, sometimes twice a day. I go to the Dr tomorrow to see where the blood counts are at. My platelets got up as high as 337K but more recently were around 247K. I can only hope that tomorrow's results will be similiar. RBC's have been slowly going down so that is what I am currently most concerned about.
