Symptons were that of Heart attack..Slight chest pain-very pale-very weak-slight nausea.
Ambulance took her and she was admitted..now after a week in the hospital, heart attck was ruled out and she is being treated for TTP blood disease by Plasma exchange.(Platelets were at 10-now up to 150)
During this there was/is Kidney failure, liver failure. Also had Dialysis done 3 times so far.
The thing is, Doctors claimed she may have TTP and were treating, but now suggest TTP is not the case and are unsure??

I've had TTP and they say that it is usually a 20-40 yo thing. Mine was misdiagnosed for a long time too (infact till my veins collapsed from blood loss). Though apparently it is pretty distictive in late stages if you know that it's TTP you are looking for (ie when you would get heart problems due to clots).
I have lots of damage to organs from all the blood clots caused by the TTP, though I responded really quickly to the plasma exchange treatment, so maybe TTP was the initial problem and now they are treating for the damage...???
I think it is all very experimental anyway. TTP has only been treatable for around 15 years and it is so rare that advancement must be slow.
