Amber do you have symptoms? You say your count is falling but what are your symptoms like?

If i'm correct you haven't been on it very long and from what I've read you need to be on it for a while right?

Just remember it is your body and your choice and your doctor is just your advisor. Don't put yourself in danger but if your counts are low but you have no symptoms than maybe it can wait a few days or bit longer. If your covered in symptoms than maybe it can't!

Been on Promacta going on 2 months. I feel like I'm getting an URI, coughing, ears hurt and nose keeps running. I do have some bruise and more tired than normal.

didn't realize it was 2 months! that is a while.

URI's they suck (sorry for language). I hope you feel better soon.


Being that is what i've got right now been working overtime and i'm so exhausted all I do is sleep when i'm not working. (thank goodness it is just me in my house)
