Hi All , Well I've been to the Dr. again at Moffitt on the 22nd and my platelets continue to drop now at 35,000 down from 39,000 on the 16th. I did ask about my subtype which is "unclassified" with no chromosone abnormalities. I'm tired all the time and have constant headaches which they have prescribed Ultram 50 mg. to ease the pain.Someone told me that the headaches are from the fluctuation of the platelets as I've had my head examined for any problems and nothing seems to be wrong in that dept.My nurse states that they 'll treat me with prednisone when my count gets to 20,000 which seems likely soon. I guess this will go on forever ? Any comments or suggestions would help ! THANKS..
