I am unsure of the answer, but I can report that over a year ago I was diagnosed with a severe case of TTP. I was 1st treated with antibiotics, then plasmapheresis and finally they used the chemo drug, Rituxin. The chemo lasted about 6 months until I was considered in "remission". Since then, I have suffered from carpal tunnel in both hands and feet. The worst is the constant pain I feel in my legs and lower back, all of which were not an issue prior to the disease. So you can decide on your own, but the doctors still are unsure of what is causing my pain, none will say that the TTP caused it, but rack it up to the treatments and say these are side affects from them.
