Finally being taken off aspirin πŸ˜… with my platelets at 30 I thought it was a mighty fine move for a change πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I got to go for yet another biopsy i despise the six hours lying still but got to be done

I been breathless last few weeks and it only dawned on me today in my appointment at Jimmy's after consultant mentioned my breathing it's the god damn steroids haha so hopefully once biopsy done they can sort the tablets out once and for all, as I said today being on steroids, testosterone and being due on my period is not helping my eating habits πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

Hi

I really hope you get sorted very soon. Text me if you need anything. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

Ps I know what you mean about having to lie down for 6 hours. Please take care.

Oof! No, I don't imagine those WOULD help your eating habits. I emotionally eat too much (and usually mostly carbs) when my period's due, and I don't even have the steroids and stuff to deal with! 😬❀️

I hope they help you sort that out soon! And definitely good call on stopping the aspirin. I never really had abnormal bruising issues (aside from just being a spaz), but anytime my platelets used to drop below 30 while on chemo, I would get unstoppable nosebleeds. πŸ˜’

Hang in there!

Hope they get you sorted at last. Funnily I have just been told I will be on aspirin for life, having just got a diagnosis of Granular Regenerative Hyperplasia, a rare disease which is causing micro vascular damage to my new liver.Hopefully I’ll be OK if I keep taking the pills.!!

Keep the strength Jo Jo!
