It used to be pretty rare but seems to not be the case anymore . They aren't sure e
what causes it but feel some virus can trigger it or some trauma to the body ( I'd was in the Hosp still after surgery) or they also say it can be one of the side effects of the flu shot. Drs do say it can be reversible and I sure hope it is for me. I went through 5 treatments of plasma perhesis to clear blood . Two hour treatments similar to dialysis.
Going into rehab facility for a month or two to hopefully get better!
