The doctors visit went fine. We went in, and got my vitals done. No fever, blood pressure back to normal, and my weight for the first time in almost 2 months has stopped fluctuating.
My platelets are back up. 124,000. So I seem to be back in the clear for ITP. Their only guess about the Petechia is my fever/viral infection plummeted my platelets. My body went into hyper drive and created enough platelets to make me healthy again. So the petechia is almost all gone, just a few spots are left. The doc told me over and over again I was totally in the right calling them, and if anything else happens like that not to hesitate to call again. Until then I am back to my 3 month check ins. So I don't have to go back until July.
So now I am left with a referral to a stomach specialist. But my weight isn't fluctuating like it has been. And really since the whole fever deal, my stomach doesn't hurt too much. So my question is do I call the specialists now, and just describe what I felt, or wait until the first sign of it happening again and go in then? I really dislike doctors in general. I have seen a lot of doctors in the past 2 months. I am tired of being the sick one. I am ready to be back on track with my 1/2 Marathon on the 20th, which is looming over me.
Well another week is almost done. Friday is tomorrow, and I ready to make this a new pledge to get Amanda back. So I am done being the sick one....
