"Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is very debilitating and a miserable condition for anyone. It is costly in many ways, both monetary and lifestyle. Insurance does not recognize it because of the cost, and the chemical lobby prevents it from being a disease. I do believe this shot started my problem, as for years I was the healthiest girl in the state, ranked high nationally, and had a very, very healthy life. Traveled, did sports, and was happy. No more, as I became sick after the shot."

"Had it. Platelets were 9 and took WinRho, which kicked up platelets into 100's. But a few days later, went down again. Then went to Rituxan, which kicked up platelets, then down within a matter of weeks. Splenectomy was the last option, but nothing. Still stuck with falling platelets and medical bills."

"My daughter's platelets drop very low (less than 5). She has a good response with IVIg - one day of 30g will increase to 50-60 - but then they will drop again by day 5. Two days of IVIg will bring them over 200, and platelets will stay above 10 for about 12 days. We tried WinRho (1000 micrograms) with no effect after two days. We then gave her another 1000 micrograms, and still had no rise in platelets the next day. We therefore gave her another two days of IVIg. She has also been on Prednisone for the past 8 weeks, with no response."
