I am a 25 y/o female. Most of my life i have had Juvenile myoclonus epilepsy. controlled well with depakote.

March 10 of this year i got the stomach bug. Throwing up and the whole 9. After about 2 days I began to recover.
March 12 i layed in bed all day shivering uncontrollably. I was so cold. The heat was on 80. I live in Georgiaand the avg temp outside at that time was 70. My muscles acked from shaking so bad, I had sweatshirts on, socks, pants, under blanket after blanket...unable to get warm.
March 13 I went to the ER thinking i had another bug. I would get some fluids, meds and go home. That was not the case. After checking my blood levels and doing many exams, pelvic, anal, blood tests etc. My white blood cells were elevated, my hematicrit was 19 and my iron was 5. Also they found cold antibodies in my blood. I was admitted and given 3 units of packed red blood cells. I was discharges the 15. a few days later had a check up. The doctor said all my levels looked good still and gave me an A OK to have a baby after my husband returned from Iraq. I became pregnant in April. The doctor said it was probobly from my menstral cycles. which were never abnormally heavy.

I went to the perinatologist . Unhappy with the transfusion is sending me to a Hemotologist/Oncologist. I go there Friday. She said she has a hunch it is an autoimmune disorder. And willmore than likely be put on Prenisone. My question is what coul it be? im so scared for my baby and myself i cant take waiting til friday. any ideas? Also where do these cold antibodies come from and what could have caused this? Any input would be helpful to ease my mind. Thanks and sorry this was so long.
