Here we go again!

It's like deja vu, all over again.....

Low grade fever, 99's, low 100's, low counts.....
(Clinical trial didn't happen as updated in another post......)

I believe I've had a bout of diverticulitis.....spastic colon.....ugh.....

Yesterday, my platelets were 19k...not one sign of bruising! Normally I would see little bleeds all over....WBC .05; hgb 8.5
I wonder if when your body is fighting something, it skews all of your blood numbers. Or how about meds? I am on Cipro, Flagyl, Bentyl, Exjade....
Other than feeling tired, and indigestion, I feel ok.

I am seeing the Dr today and will bombard him with my usual 20 questions.......

I don't feel as panicky as I did last time, as I recovered from those #'s. I met a lady whose Hgb gets as low as 5 and she doesn't even feel it.
This machine, the human body, can take quite the stressors.
I'll update you all after my platelet transfusion later today!!!!!
