I have been on steroids several times. Not chronically. I also took for about 1 1/2 years Andriol - an anabolic steroid I got in Europe to raise my platelet counts. They used to run between 15-20 and I took low doses of Andriol from 12/2009 until weaned off in early 2011.My platelets have continued to stay steady at around 115-120 give or take. It has been several years since I have taken Andriol and was under the supervision of quite a few hematologists when I was taking that medication.I don't know this far out if it could still affect me?
The other steroids have been in bursts for short time periods and not any recently.I was using steroid eye drops for about 6 weeks in May and June 2013 for a persisent iritis-proabably autoimmune.
Thanks so much for your responses!It is helpful as maybe I am onto something here.... The doctors I have seen so far are puzzled and shrugging their shoulders.Don't quite know what to think.
Thanks,Ellen
