vaccine effect of lowering my platelets is reversing

[h2ogal]

ET, Jax2, hydroxy. After the vaccine (Pfizer) my platelets dropped and I was able to cut my weekly hydroxy by 20%. It's reversing now and platelets are going up. Also, blood pressure has gone bananas (always had low blood pressure before this).

Wanted to give a heads up to anyone else whose platelets went down after the vaccine to have their blood tested. I had a very good time with the lower dosage and hope to keep an upbeat attitude as I add more back in.

May all your blood draws be painless...

I wonder if research will be done in the Pfizer vaccine as a few people posted a drop in platelets

How long did it take for your platelets to start rising again?

[h2ogal in reply to cmc_ufl]

5-6 months

My platelets usually hover around 440. 2 months after my Moderna shot, they were at 408, lowest they've ever been. Granted, platelets can naturally fluctuate +/- 50K throughout the day, but still an interesting coincidence. Will be interesting to see what my CBC in October shows.
