Hu journey

Well my platelets have risen slightly not massive. So.now on HU and Angralide to see if they can bring them down.

I look more like a pin cushion today they found it hard to get blood from me. I forgot to eat anything so it's my own fault.

My consultant will be doing appts by telephone in the next few months. . Have to get bloods taken every 4 weeks at Drs.

Here we go back in my roller coaster.. sod off cv19 enough going on .

Hi Heathermc, I hope the combination of the meds works and brings them down. And I hope your arm isn't too sore. Maz x

It does pay to be well hydrated when going for bloodwork. Hope you find the med combo effective. If it does not work or the side effects are too much, there are other options. Stay well and indeed cv19 can truly sod off with haste.
