Hello! I've been on Nplate for approx 2 years. Prior to Nplate, was on eltrombopag for about a year, until it stopped working. Over the last probably 18 months, I have noticed a loss of energy, but now, it is really bad. I could honestly sleep for days if it wasn't for work, feel more tired when I wake up than I did when I go to bed.
Muscle fatigue is also getting progressively worse. If I cut the grass, the next day it feels like I had a full workout. Legs are sore and burning all the time, same with arms. Just brushing my hair causes muscle soreness, that lasts for about 20 min.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar, and if so, did you have a remedy ?
The only med I take is Nplate. I eat relitvely healthy, not overweight, early 40's, this round I've had ITP for about 6.5 years.
What I am trying to figure out...
Is it the Nplate, is it the ITP, is it something else, is it just normal aging??
Any ideas/experiences would be great to read. Thanks for reading !
