platelets and vitamin K

   I had a problem with my platelets dropping to the low 30's. I started taking vitamin K gel tabs, and although it took a few weeks to change, the last two weeks my platelets were around 60. I guess they could have increased by themselves but, I'm going to keep taking Vit. K.

I know what you mean about being off it.  I have lit into my husband a couple of times.  The first time after my rage I explained it was the meds and to ignore me the next time.  He does now and sometimes leaves the room because it is not like me normally to have a fit.  But oh well not much else you can do as it seems so real at that time.  Also everyone knows it is temporary.

How am I feeling? Today's good. Yesterday I was horrible, even yelled at my son over the phone for his usuall jokes. I called to apologise today and he just laughed it off. Everyone knows I'm loopy.  I think using neupogen puts me even more into yo-yo mode but as long as the string doesn't break, I'm okay.
Thanks for asking, nothing like loaded questions. LOL

Yeah, these mood swings are like having PMS LOG10 24/7.  (or would it be LOG1)

I may have lost a friend this past week coz I'm in such a lousy mood.  I wanna explain it to her but don't know if I can.

Just keep greasing that string.  :)
