Does Anyone Have Any New Information About ATTP?(Acute Thrombosesis Thrombotnec Purpura)?

Question by CocoChanel: Does anyone have any new information about ATTP?(Acute Thrombosesis Thrombotnec Purpura)?
I spent 3 months in the hospital, underwent 2 surgeries, all of my organs failed, so I endured round after round of dialasis & blood transfusions. Not that I knew, I was in a coma on full life support for 2 &1/2 of those 3 months. I received “Last Rites” TWICE because the doctors assumed I would not survive long enough for my parish priest to arrive,so the hospital chaplain came by, just in case. My mother had to tell my son(who had recently turned10)that Mommy was going to Heaven soon. FINALLY, with the excellent notes of my rheumatologist, a visiting hemotologist worked through the choaos created by the other doctors. He diagnoised my ATTP. I received 11 rounds of ferrisis & woke up 17 hours after the final treatment.
Wow, you have no idea how difficult this was for me to write…
My point is this, it’s been 5 long hard years of recovery & RESEARCH,so aside from my need to just release all of this out into the void. Does anyone have any new information? (sorry for any S&G errors)

If you were a parent who REALLY cared for your children, why would you EVER put them in a situation where they could be separated from you?

This situation is NO DIFFERENT than a parent selling drugs risking they could be busted and sent to prison, thus being separated from their children.

The law is the law – you break the law, you must be prepared to pay the consequence.

Best answer:

Answer by garfyldrox
COBRA

Heart Patients May Have New Medicinal Snake Blood thinner from venom should be safer, easier to use

Coumadin, the popular but troublesome blood thinner, may soon have to make way for a new drug that seems to work more predictably and safely. Patients will have researchers to thank, along with a not-quite-usual suspect: the cobra.

The drug, derived from cobra venom, is expected to reach pharmacies within 18 months under the brand name Exanta.
