I then came across some information on the Internet about the possible H-Pylori connection and asked my doctor to test me. They took a blood test and a few days later which was positive , I then took a breathe test – which turned up negative – but I was told that some of the my stomach-protection medicine that I was on may have messed up the results. My Dr.  – decided to treat me for the H-Pylori (especially after the doctors saw the Jan cover story of HemoOncolgy Times - breaking news section - on ITP & H-Pylori –So, I began taking the two-week antibiotics mixture (Amoxicillian, Biaxon, and Previcid). The link to this article is http://www.hemonctoday.com/200201/frameset.asp?article=eradicate.asp (share it with your doctor!!).

I remember her sitting in my room – I had tears streaming down my face….crying was no longer strange for the once happy me.  Anyway, she persuaded me to try it again (she said there was something in his voice – very professional and mature - that made her feel it was very important for us to try again, especially after the H-Pylori treatment (to see if it now allowed the IVIG to work properly and boost me up).

SURPRISE!!!! The IVIG worked this time and boosted me up a lot each day. I started the 4th round of IVIG at 5,000 platelets. Day 1 – I was at 21,000, Day 2 – I was at 39,000, Day 3 – I was at 81,000, Day 4 - I was at 111,000 and Day 5 – I was at 149,000!!!!). I was released again from the hospital -- after 3 weeks of being stuck there ready to die (I never knew my parents, friends, and I were capable of producing so many tears!). However, even though the hospital was releasing me - I was still terrified based on how I crashed back down to 5,000 platelets the time before. I went to the doctor two days later (Ash Wednesday to be exact -- and I had 217,000 platelets. My hemo, her partner, my parents and I burst into tears of joy! I then went right to church to thank God!
