Promacta was created by Ncruz99
Hello, I was diagnosed with ITP in November of 2023. I was given IVIG and dexamethasone at the start but had short term remission. I've been taking promacta since February of 2024 and have been experiencing headaches and body aches that have worsened over the last few months although my CBC appears normal. Are these common side effects of promacta?

I took Promacta for 5 years until recent insurance changes. But yes, I had frequent and random aches and pains.
