I just completed a thirteen day stint in the hospital, so am a bit behind on everything, but have read something on the postings about tylenol lowering platelets. This is a concern to me since I have only 8,000 platelets (and that is up 2 since returning home). My body rejects any efforts to tranfuse platelets, even special matched ones, so what I make is what I get.

I don't want to distroy any of them, however I run a constant fever 24 hours a day, and when it gets really high, tylenol is all I have to use. Is there any substitute for tylenol that is better? Thanks again for any help anyone can give me.
