Re: [EvansSyndrome] Viral illnesses

Dear DW
 
    My son gets a fair about of virus, especially around the change of seasons.  He does not get a flu shot since his platelets never get above 25,000. He has been off all meds for at least a year but did have Rituxin
many years ago, 6 mp, cellcept etc, I don't think he has much resistance but does better since he is no longer in school
