Glad to see that someone can read. Let me correct you with something that was already said. Um, I do collect social security disability. I am disabled and I am retired. That is not leeching off of the system. I earned that. I worked for that just like any other american for 10 years or more. You have to work at least that long to collect it. It is n...

I already feel better after only one day. my hubby went to the eye Dr and he has the beginnings of a catarac in one eye.They didn't change his prescription because of the blood disease he has and the meds he is on keeps his blood sugar goi...

A beautiful spring day

Monday, May 5, 2008

I am trying to stay positive and enjoy the nice weather, have lots to do today. We went to the nursery yesterday and got plants to fill the planters on our front porch. i have not heard from my son in a couple of weeks now, i know they are busy, but it seems like they could check on us once in awhile. They know we both have health problems, it just seems they don't care. I always called and c...

I am just trying to get a few things done before I go in to work today. I felt so bad yesterday, i think it was because my blood pressure was so low. My husband insisted in calling the DR office and telling them this. They said to drop off one of the pills i had been taking. I was taking 4 labetalol and 2 altace a day.This was bring my BP way too low. So hopefully i will feel better today(i do al...

Here it is monday again, it was cloudy and raining this morning, then the sun came out. I could feel my spirits pick up instantly. I was so down and depressed yesterday and last night, don't really know why. I got a phone call from my friend at Church, we chatted for awhile and she said she had been praying for me because she knew i had not been feeling well lately and had been depressed(over...

I guess I am worried today. Lately I've experienced very obvious short term memory loss. I was told it would happen. I honestly never thought I would notice it like I am now. I was hospitalized twice for severe spirals and during one of the stays in the hospital I agreed to ECT. I don't regret it because I think it helped me. But there was a price, and I'm experiencing that now. Recen...

Thrombocytopenic purpura are purpura associated with a reduction in circulating blood platelets which can result from a variety of causes.

There are two known types:

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the condition of having a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) of no known cause (idiopathic). As most causes appear to be related to antibodies against platelets, it is also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Although most cases are asymptomatic, very low platelet counts can lead to a bleeding diathesis and purpura.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP or Moschcowitz disease) is a rare disorder of the blood coagulation system that in most cases arises from the deficiency or inhibition of the enzyme ADAMTS13, which is responsible for cleaving large multimers of von Willebrand factor. It is a serious condition that leads to hemolysis and end-organ damage, and may require plasmapheresis therapy.
