Thanks Linda; you will find the correlation of Itp and tm on page4 of  the 
acticleTransverse myelitis: symtons, causes and diagnosis at at our own 
sight www.myelitis.org/tm.htm. I was surprised as you fo find that out. My 
neuro never mentioned it to me but sent me to an oncologist.

Hi Gerry, thanks for letting us know that you will be in the hospital.  You 
will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.  I like your attitude - one 
week of bliss, just being HIGH.  That will be a nice reprieve.  It's 
interesting that this has come up. I have TM and my granddaughter has ITP.  
I've gone to medical seminars on ITP with my family so I do understand 
about the disease.  It's been a while since I've done any research and I 
wasn't aware of the connection of TM and ITP - except that they are both 
autoimmune diseases.  I guess it's time for me to start researching again.
I hope you have a relaxing weekend planned, then on Monday morning take a 
deep breath, relax and just know that God will be right there with you.
Hugs, Linda

  Hi everyone' As some of you know I will be entering the hospital next 
monday
  morning for an intravenous gamaglobin including a bone maroow 
transplant.
  Thuis will last five days. To backrack my plelete count is very very 
low. I
  have ITP whereby my white blood cells are killing each other off. The 
risk
  are not so high. Those of us who have TM have gone through much worst. 
the
  news is this: It is related to TM> ;;;;;;; I thought it was a new
  complication to my life but doing some research I discovered that ITP is 
a
  directed result to TM in some people. \\\\\\\The<> good part of all this 
is
  that I will be so drugged up for four days that I will not feel the pain 
I
  have been experiencing for the last 7 years. It is better then cannibus. 
God
  bless One week of total bliss. no pain. just HIGH please keep me in your
  thoughs and prayers. Again my church is praying for Jude.The lord is 
with us
  each and everyone of us. Just look around you. your wife; your 
girlfriend;
  He sent them to us to help; comfort and don't forget to nag us as well. 
lol
