The Rise or Fall of Platelets follow up 3/26/10 was created by AmeliaP



Hi Everyone,

Wish me well!

Two weeks ago March 12, 2010 my Platelets were at 114,00 and prior to that on February 16, 2010 my Platelets were 61,000. I was put on 10 MG of Prednisone and still on the low dose.

Tomorrow morning we will find out if they are rising or falling.

I have a couple of petechiae spots on my legs, but nothing to cry wolf about.

I am being treated down here in Bradenton, Florida because I am a snowbird from January to April. When I go back to Connecticut in May I will resume treatment in Danbury.

I will let you know what tomorrow brings.
Amelia M Petre

  • I was diagnosed at just three years old and have lived with ITP for 26 years. Doctors have often referred to me as the "exotic one" because they believe my case and experience with ITP differs from most. I am married and have a beautiful baby boy.

Goodluck! I really hope that your count has gone back way up and that you can stop taking the treatment!
My count usually sits at about 100-115 and I dropped to 40 the other day - I wonder whether I should have been put on a very low dose of Prednisone. I did try to contact my hemo but unfortunately she didn't see it fit to contact me back. I really need to find a new specialist.

Goodluck - wishing you all the best!!
