hi my name is leslie i'm 16 years old and live in texas. i have been dealing with thrombocytopenia since february of this year and i have went through many treatments and have had surgery already to try and fix the problem. since february 4th (at this time my platelets went down to a 1,000 )of this year i have been getting gamma treatments in a nearby hospital almost every 2 to 3 weeks . after having to get so many frequent treatments my doctors decided to go ahead with the spleen removal and see if i would be in the 80% that spleenectomy usually works on . well after getting the surgery my platelets shot up to around 600,000 i was so relieved i actually thought it cleared well about a week later my platelets had already dropped to 12,000. it had started back up again but it wasn't my spleen causing it . the doctors ran test on my liver and checked for a smaller spleen the surgeon could of missed. there was nothing , the doctors told me maybe it was a phase that it would take about a year to clear up all the way. but ever since then my platelets have been droppin more and more every treatment this past treatment my platelets actually went down to zero. i was scared for my life. my platelets never go over 50,000 unless right after a gamma treatment. but now the treatments are lasting less and less. the treatments also leave me with ugly side affects such a vomiting migranes and weakness. i just got out of the hospital last week and they went up to 170,000 and in 7 days they are down to 1,000 again. this disorder has ruined my life i used to be a powerlifter and also involved in track i got to hang out with my friends and now its like im on a leash always getting held back from something. now i can't lift because of the straining part of powerlifting and i can't do track because of my fluctuations so much. i miss so much school i have teachers working with me, but they can only help me for so long. im a straight a and b student but its hard not knowing everything when you have serious tests to do. i just want some answers of any kind i want a answer or a consideration to look into something else please if anyone has answers please reply it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, leslie
