not even 48 hours after my 65 plt draw my plts were at 44...yes...44...drop of 20 in a few days...and now many more bruises so I wonder what they are. My primary ordered them for Monday again. After calling multiple times pressing them to do something...they will make sure my low platelets is not due to "viral illness or a secondary issue". Well my primary told me he ordered Hep/HIV screens...excuse me?....my only risk factors are blood transfusions...anyhow, he is also testing for the platelet antibity too...but still no BMB because he highly doubts it has anything to do with it....so what...I think one should be called for at this point...oh and bc my plts are so low he does not want b12 injections at all. So only put on 1,000 oral daily but "it won't be absorbed anyway"....I would rather do a few SQ injections at first...especially before my plts drop any further...I understand now IM...I just don't see how oral is going to help matters when it is at the level it is...
