Hi everyone,

Dont know if you remember me posting a while back saying I had low platelets...

Well I had to have a Bone Marrow Test last month and got the result today - I havent got Leukemia but they confirmed I have Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura. My platelets were 108,000 - so still a little low but they are staying around that mark.

So at least I know to keep away from Aspirin etc - they did advise me to eat more green veg (yuk!!!!)

Now that is sorted I can get back to studying for my NCLEX which I take on 5 th november - wish me luck....

:roll

Good luck to both of you. It is so frustrating when "life" gets in the way of our goals. I believe that endurance is part of the "test" of being a nurse.
