Glad it worked out for you. I have had gall bladder pain for about a year, not horrible but nagging ach just the same. Platlets run around 13 to 20 pretty consistantly so obvious fear about bleeding. I have had a couple bouts with ulcerative colitis in the last year both required hospitalization. After each bout I ended up with severe arthritis symtoms that required loss of work, prednisone and even extended hospital time. My local Dr. called it reactive arthritis (Reiter's Syndrome) Dr. Alan List at Moffitt who I see about every 60 days agreed but it has been managable. Both recomend ATG as soon as I can probably early January. Hopefully over time my counts will improve enough to deal with the gall bladder, colen ect a little more agressivly. I am blessed to live in a place where so many quality specialist practice. Good luck and wish you the best.
