A New Beginning

So it goes…. Its January and things are starting to happen again at work. After I finish off at work today I hope to pick up my book list for next years Bsc courses at UNISA. I have ITP, and I needed to be on high doses of cortisone in order to not be at risk for a stroke and other ugly things. But in May I tried a new medication, which only recently has been approved for use with ITP. Its called Mapthera. And it worked. I have been off the cortisone since June/July. However due to the cortisone and apathy I put on 20 kilograms of extra weight. I have now decided to work on losing that weight and adding muscle and fitness to my life. I have been exercising every day this week and hope to build up a routine.

As writte now i have been on Antibiotics for two weeks now and they are not helping. In 2005 the doctor”s advived that i should remove my splin as my platelets were not controlable even after being on cortozone for a long time. I would like to find people who have been diahnosed with ITP.
