Sarah,

Yes this happened to me quite often. I found that the full effect of the Romiplostim came in 2 weeks after the dose. Often I would get to 400 and so would not have a dose and the next week I would be at 600. I would then drop back to 400 (not have a dose), drop to 250, (not have a dose), drop to 150 (have a dose) and then be back up to 400 again - I followed this cycle a few times. One time when I given too much I went up to 1,036 and so was obviously not given another dose but the next week I was at 1,084. The next week I went back to 396.

I eventually went into remission and have maintained an above 200 count without any medications for 3 months now.

Hang in there - Robert
