Hi all

started nplate 5 weeks ago with promising results after being between 2-5 for the most part since january and not really responding to any other treatments im pretty worried todays count was down to 50 can you dip like this on n/plate ?or am i now not responding ? ive not been ill and nothing else has really changed in my day to day life apart from starting back at work on restricted duties in the office only, which is easier than staying home with my 2 wee ones :

week1 -count 12 dosage 1m/g per kg
week2 -count 44 dosage 2m/g per kg
week3 -count 101 dosage 3m/g per kg
week4-count 100 dosage 3m/g per k/g 1 day late with injection
week5-count 50 dosage 3m/g per k/g 1 day late with injection

I had a similar start on Nplate. Up for a week or two then down again, increase the dose, up then down, increase.. until I got to 5mcg/kg. Then I suddenly shot up high and had to reduce the dose over time. Now after 18 months I'm on the lowest possible dose. Today's count is 115.

Even then when I'm stable I have my moments. Last August I suddenly out of the blue dropped to 8. Had to go for an extra blood test the next week and was up to 52. So yes, it's normal to be a bit up and down.
