I have to say... a part of me was not surprised... a small part. Somehow I knew it was low..though I wanted to deny it, thinking maybe if I THOUGHT a higher number, that would somehow make it so. Alas...that is not the case.

Really? ... Damn.
I wanted to burst into tears at first... Back into the teens? It's been almost three years now, and I'm almost back to where I started. :P Not a fun feeling to say the least.
HOWEVER...
I am using this as a butt gear kicker and motivator. I was slacking off with exercise and sneaking sugar and gluten and dairy and meat and oil and salt back into my eating. Granted... it's still NOTHING close to how bad I used to eat.. but it was sneaking in, none-the-less. I used the fact that I was treating myself with homeopathy as an excuse (for whatever reason)... thinking that it wasn't what I was eating, cause it didn't seem like it was effecting me. Well now... clearly I'm doing something wrong..... Something very....very....wrong.
Man this sucks, though. A part of me wants to fall on the floor and totally give up... another part wants to fight. The rain and cold does not help the fighter.... *facepalm*
Kate, I've been computer down for 2 weeks and just saw this. Do NOT give up! I almost think the fact that your bouncing around is your body TRYING to work. I wish I could figure out what we're missing. I will pray for God's wisdom for you and AB. This WILL work. Hang in there. I know it's discouraging. But do NOT give up! (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteWhen you are ready to give up on the placebos, you could try actual medicine. The only unfortunate thing is that people who are actually searching for real information on low platelets ends up here.
