Our fantastic pediatrician is at a loss. Her platelet count is great, and most of her other coag. numbers are good (which is good). But, what is causing the weird bruises?? We've been asked to consult with a pediatric hematologist (who we've already been forewarned is also at a loss). Her white blood cell count is slightly low (which can indicate an infection, or virus), and her platelet size is slightly below the norm. But, this is the same child who at age 2, ceased walking for a day, had a high sedrate, and had a wacky white blood cell number (high I think), and it all resolved a day later.
Weird. As much as I like playing the "House" game, I don't like mysteries when they involve my children. Thank goodness she is acting like nothing is wrong (except for the ugly purple bruising up and down her arms. I even checked to make sure she wasn't giving herself self-induced "hickies", but there is just no way she could pull some of the positions off, not to mention the spontaneous appearance of the second arm in her sleep.

hi, my cousin growing up had some type of condition (non life threatening, it went away) called ITP, can't pronouce it, but that sounds so similar to her. Something about a virus, attacking platelets, google it, sounds just like your daughter though. Keep us updated girl. I just got off the phone w/my aunt to make sure, she gave the details.
That is so funny, that is definitely something they are looking at. Although her overall platelet number is fine :)
All in all, she's acting like nothing is wrong, I'll just put her in long sleeves, and forget about it-LOL.
oh, okay well his count was definitely low. and the bad thing is we were under the age of 10 I remember and he and I got in a rare fight...I hit him w/a plastic bat on his leg, talk about a bruise! Oh my mom felt horrible, notice I said my mom, I can't remember what he did to me (he hit me first! lol)but that may have been when I had a black eye...? kids!
Have they done coagulation studies (PT/PTT, Von Willebrand)? There are a number of clotting factor deficiencies that can cause easy bruising... Playing "House" is definitely NOT fun when it's your kid! I hope they get to the bottom of this soon!
Hey- I found this article talking about acquired von Willebrand Disease with a case of hypothyroidism. Is that possible with the Pendred's?

I used to work for an in vitro diagnostic firm that manufactured coagulation reagents, so we ran across vWD every once in a while.
Hopefully it's just a one-off incident and the bruising will just go away!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
