Today’s blood work finally presented the results I had been hoping for: platelets up to 31,000. (From 4,000 the week before.) It seems that the Nplate is beginning to do it’s thing. And I couldn’t be happier…I knew it. I told my doctor! :)
I’ve seen some rapid, drastic improvement in my bruises in the past week. Like I mentioned in a previous post, they’re all starting to fade. I also haven’t been having as much trouble with the blood blisters in my mouth and haven’t seen any petechiae in a couple of weeks. Today’s injection looked like quite a bit more than the previous weeks, but I didn’t ask the exact dosage. He said I could continue to taper the Prednisone, so I am now taking 5 mg/day and feeling much better.
Now. If I can just shake the make-me-wanna-curl-up-in-fetal-position-and-die headache/migraine side effects, I’ll be set.
where’s this week
This was this week…
