platelet trouble

[cathsixx]

Hi ! I am ( was ! ) taking Anti TNF drug etanercept and MTX until bloods tested for low platelet count . I have had to stop taking all my meds for the time being until the platelet count goes up. Thankfully Im getting alternetive steroid injections otherwise I wouldnt be able to move ! . Anyone else out there had this problem ?? Cathy xx

My platelet count is always dropping, but it soon comes back up again after I have been off the medication for a month or two. Then go back on again. So far this year mine have been behaving themselves. I am on etanercept like you but with Leflnuomide in with the mix

Oh thanks for that - its reassuring to know someone else has this problem as well - i have been on anti TNF for 3 years then suddenly this happens, and no-one could explain why. Thank you Georje.
