platelet refractory

Has anyone had experience with having their platelets drop after transfusions? I am having difficulty with receiving platelets effectively and I don't know of any "treatment" for this other than to get a good match. The blood bank at my hospital knows my name (for sure)and they try to find me a good match-The platelets are also irradiated and leukocyte reduced. Has anyone successfully dealt with this?
