Am I sick? I don't think so.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your wishes!

I went in today for the TransX but was denied as my Hb is 11.2 g/dl however my platelets were down again to 63K

It looks like my Platelets are on a roller coaster ride. Going up and down up and down!

The TransX is postponed till Saturday and I hope the PLT counts go up this time!

Take care, Peace!

Hi sajid,

Glad to know that your hb is good.  For the platelets I have read somewhere (don't remember where) that peanuts may boost them up.  Can anyone confirm this?

Wish you well
Jade

Hi Jade,
Thanks for your concern. My platelet counts are still fluctuating. This week they were up to about 86K.

About peanuts, well that was me. I told about them when I had the severe drop in my PLT count few years ago. A nurse told me about them.

These days, it's too hot to have peanuts and I'm into other alternatives such as bananas. They seem to work as well.

Take care, Peace!
