How low will they allow platelets to go?

Down to 22 in the lastest blood tests.

I was however in the midst of an infection so i am not sure if that can alter the count. Blood was drawn 3 days into a cypro course.

Eric, sorry you’re still facing this situation.

Your doc(s) need to be concerned about this, what can be done, I am not sure.
Maybe an infusion?

My count is at 7 and no transfusion, just on generic steroid. They only gave it to me at the hospital when I was bleeding internally with a count of 1k 3 years ago.

Wow SammiD that’s quite incredible. Last week’s blood work was at 26, so I’m looking good in comparison!

:grinning: yes, you are. Just be careful. The count can drop really fast. I was at 109k right off steriods and in 2 weeks off steriods I dropped to 7k. If you get any strong headaches and nausea should definitely head to the hospital. Im on pins and needles. I dont want to repeat what happened 3years ago. I was unconscious for 4 days and they gave me transfusion 2x at the beginning and before discharged. Are you on steriods?

No steroids. Just wait and see.
