I'm 22 and I was told I have antiphospholipid anitbody syndrome after the loss of my first child. 2years after my 2nd chlid was born I was told I have thrombocytopenia. I was hospitalized when I saw brusing and expirenced really bad headaches I also found a blood clot in my mouth. I had a count of 4,000 platelets when I went to the hospital. They gave me prednisone for 2 weeks after I got out of the hospital. About 2 months later the headaches and red spots and brusing started again my platelet level dropped again this time to 12,000. They put me on prednisone again. I 've been on it going on 3 months now and during that time it has already dropped twice but not extremely low like before. They say this will be a chronic problem but shouldn't they just take out my spleen? But I was told if they take out the spleen my liver will take over what the spleen did. Is this true?Wont this be bad for the liver? & how will the removal of my spleen effect my antiphospholipid antibody syndrome?
