Hi everyone. I’m getting a bit anxious and would appreciate any advice please.
Three weeks ago my platelets were 569 having come down gradually over the last year from 800+ on a dose of 1000/1500 mg HU on alternate days.
Since then I have had a bout of food poisoning and a chest/throat infection and finished a course of anti biotics.
I saw my consultant yesterday and my platelets had increased to 909. I do realise that the numbers can vary but this seems to be a lot and I’m a bit shocked.
Has anyone else had this experience? Are there any tips you can share to help me bring these numbers down quickly please?
I’m seeing my consultant again in two weeks and he’s going to run some blood tests for inflammatory markers etc.
