Hi Anthony what a day to see this question i have just come back from clinic today my appointment was for 11:30 consultant decided to up dose of romoplostim as count was only up to 4 so i agreed to this then had to sit about for further 3hours for injection i was really so stressed out . As this clinic is part of our hospitals oncology and hematology unit i looked around at the other patients and realized how much worse of they were which really helped me calm down

I meditate, practice yoga, garden, and read. There are many good meditation videos on YouTube and Pandora radio has very good relaxation music to read, practice yoga or simply stretch. OSHO videos on meditation are my favorites, but people can search and find what is best for them. Also my diet is contains little sugar and caffeine products. These are the things I have found that help me keep a relaxed and positive focus in daily life as well as for my ITP stressors.
