Where did they go???

[Pollyangel]

So much for my count of 109...

Count today 58... wiped the smug smile of my wee face...

Ho hum... 😕

[Ltinny]

I know..its so frustrating isn't it? It makes you wonder what, if anything, we have done or not done to make it change. I hope your next one is better.

[Pollyangel in reply to Ltinny]

It doesn't help that there are no answers...

I'm lucky... I'm not ill... just a tad frustrated 😡

[Ltinny in reply to Pollyangel]

That's the crux, no answers. Its the biggest guessing game going. I used to have panic attacks every time I had to find out my results from my doctor. Still on no meds, and I prefer it that way as long as I can get away with it.

O bless you, im hoping when i go back 28th sep mine will have stayed up too. Went up too 128 in July 🙏

[Pollyangel in reply to Lin6]

93 in June... then down to 70 by July... had an unscheduled blood test two weeks ago when they came back as 109... so I think I've been on a natural decline...

You'll be fine... positive thinking...crossing fingers... x

Mine went up to 81 when I had brochitis, dropped back to 40 a couple of weeks later.

[Pollyangel in reply to tgk62]

That is odd... it's as though your body has been too busy fighting bronchitis to be bothered bashing platelets...

[tgk62 in reply to Pollyangel]

Yes, that's what my hema thinks also. It gave antibodies something else to pick on instead of my platelets.

[eciardullo]

I know how you feel when my platelets were on a roller coaster ride it would change from hour to hour, sometimes it can be as simple as having a different breakfast before going in for bloodwork in the morning...I understand your frusteration...be Strong...

[Pollyangel in reply to eciardullo]

I'm used to them dropping... they have just never dropped by that amount...

Doesnt help that there is no explanation for it.

I'm healthy with what I have... so shouldn't complain... was just looking forward to hopefully cutting back on medication... lol...

Unfortunately it happens 10th August count 145 17th August 25! Where did they go nobody knows hey ho!

[Pollyangel in reply to Eileen-Emily]

Oh jeez... that was worse than mine... lol...

[JasonJ]

Mine are up and down like a yo-yo, I test every other week, anything from 40 to 140 (post splenectomy). I have nearly given up worrying about it now!
