  • I'm an adult male, 61 years of age. Six years ago while during a routine physical my Dr ordered a CBC that showed my plate count at 30,000. I’ve bounced around from 2,000 to 30,000. Last check was 7,000. Tried Prednisone and Rituxan, starting Promact

I’m on Avatrombopag 20mg daily and have been experiencing pain in my joints and extreme tingling pains in my hands.  The pain in my hands will cause me to awaken at night. I briefly discontinued the Avatrombopag and my count dropped to 5 so I’m back on it again.  Currently my count is back up to 96 but I’m enduring the pain.

Sorry to hear you have such a severe side effect. I don't know this medication at all but I have found personally that varying the time of day when I take the medication can minimise how much I feel the side effect. eg one caused severe thirst - overnight that is very difficult, but during the day easier to manage. Pain is different, but even so your daily activities might reduce the pain, or at least distract you, whereas at night you can't escape it (?). Good luck, hope you resolve it

I don't know anything about this medication, but I think I would go to my doctor and ask if I could do a lower dose.  That's what I did when I first started Prednisone.

I'm with Cindy, I'd be talking with my hematologist about the side effects you are experiencing!
