1722607 tn?1335747858 What are good vitamins/supplements to take? I'm not in treatment yet, and wanted to know what I can take while waiting to treat. I've heard people mention milk thistle. What about vitamin c or d?
Avatar f tn my body just aches all the time, i only feel better when i double up on vitamins.since then i have had blood work done 3 times and my platelets are climbing and sometimes they go down a little bit, but slowly keep coming up. my white blood count was normal but over the last 3 weeks they shot up by 3000. i have been tested ofr hiv 5 times and the last test being on the 14th of march, they are all negative. i was concerned due to a very low risk possible exposure not certain.
Avatar m tn Hello How high are your platelets. Platelets are responsible for clot formation in the blood vessels. Thrombocytosis or abnormally high platelets usually manifests as clots in the blood vessels which can cause areas of decreased oxygen in various organs of the body. This can result in pain in these areas. It would be unusual for this to cause joint pain.The treatment for elevated platelet is to be on an agent like aspirin to prevent excessive clotting.
Avatar f tn Red blood cells, platelets, procrit, nuelasta, chemo, red blood cells, platelets, procrit, nuelasta, Chemo? Seems to be a theme for me the last 2 months. Does anyone one have natural solutions to raise cbc levels ?
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor if you can take vitamin B12 suppliments to make up for these ever dropping platelets. B12 helps produce red blood cells, but as we all learned in high school, platelets are within our blood stream :) It doesn't need to be prescribed to you, but I'd ask just in case hun :) Good luck!
Avatar f tn Essentially Platelets are the glue that holds the blood together. Google it. Low platelets means thinner blood. 44 is very low, normal range is around 150-250. Yes, avoid a serious cut, and definitely avoid head injury or any actions that might cause one. If either happens, call a doctor ASAP. Try to stick in there, with so little time left to go it would be a shame not to complete if all possible. What's your virus count?
Avatar m tn I really hope that my liver enzymes slightly increased because I hurt my back 2 days before blood test. GGT went down so this is good and platelets improved - just wondering if you relapse after treatment how normally liver enzymes reacts they should go up like AST, ALT and GGT and platelets should go down?
Avatar f tn m 23 weeks pregnant and I just got out of the emergency room a couple days ago for a kidney infection while I was there they held me longer because I have low blood platelets that really scares me have any of you experienced low platelets? How do I raise my platelets count?
451053 tn?1237577749 Hi Alisa... I have a good 'across the board' diet.. which includes red meat, veggies, fruit, and still have milk in my tea/coffee and icecream..(love icecream),,, and I've found that my bloods have come up each time for chemo, except when I was doing Gemzar. That was really bad for me, and the only time that I needed transfusions for red cells and platelets. I don't take any vitamins or supplements, just eat healthy, which Iv'e always done in the past too.
493068 tn?1224765315 I completed Interferon-Ribavirin-Neupogen 2 years ago in Feb...My WBC, RBC, Platelets, and Absolute neutrophil counts have been down most of the time since completing 48 weeks. I was to have cervical surgery for severe stenosis this week but they did my lab work 2 times last week and cancelled the surgery. I know it is very dangerous for bleeding or hematoma of spinal cord..Do you have any idea why my labs stay like this? RBC 3.2, Hgb 10, Hct 30, platelets 130, and Absolute neutrophils 1.5.
493068 tn?1224765315 I wanted to know if any of you that have completed tx have abnormal CBC and platelets? My WBCs, Hgb, Hct. and platelets have been low since starting treatment and completing tx. Thanks for any feedback.
Avatar f tn s not related to bedroom activities. I have read that it could be a lack of vitamins or iron, or something more. Should I contact my doctor or take some vitamins to see if it helps?
Avatar n tn Platelets are a type of blood cell that play an important role in blood clotting. Platelets are made in the bone marrow, and is the organ that produces all types of blood cells. The condition can develop when the bone marrow stops regulating its production of platelets and other blood cells, often as a result of a mutation or other type of injury to the marrow.
1475202 tn?1536270977 You have plenty of platelets to properly clot your blood. The biggest issue with low platelet counts is that hepatitis C treatment that includes interferon reduces platelet counts even more and may reduce the platelet count to dangerously low levels below 20,000 in cirrhotics.
190885 tn?1333025891 I was just asking because I was wondering if the procrit had helped raise you platelets. I would think with 141 platelets you don't have much liver damage. I started tx with just 60. When I was first diagnosed with hep c I had 107 . I love to see 141 that's great.
Avatar f tn also do not forget to mention the bruising as your doctor may want to have blood work done (a low platelets count is usually one of the reasons for bruising, not the only one but worth considering... it takes a platelet count to get extremely low before being life threatening but still one could go on with his/her activities not knowing that in case of an incident, his/her blood will not clot properly and internal hemorrhage will result...
Avatar f tn I am drinking alfala juice and taking a lot of vitamins, and drinking fresh vegetable juice daily. I know and feel my blood isnt right. I just know. But maybe it hasnt turned into leukemia enough for them to tell. Thanx for the site to go too. I will use it.
Avatar m tn I have no idea what forum to go to, so since I'm used to this one and my problem could relate to low platelets, I'll start here. About the same time I started Olysio & Sovaldi, I got a light flesh-colored hard knot about the size of a dime right above my right elbow. There was blue all around it. Then the blue was replaced by spreading purple so the whole area is 3" by 2" with the knot in the middle. It hurts.
