The thing of it is, *I* didn't know how sick I was. They didn't start giving me numbers till my platelets hit the upper 20s to low 30s. They told everybody ELSE who came near me how sick I was, but to look through these records and discover there were many days I wasn't even in double digits -- that was both scary and maddening.

I do have meds for now, and I will ask how long I should wait to get tested again once I'm done with the immunosuppressant. And supposedly if it returns, I'll know sooner, having been through it once, but I didn't know the first time either -- I was exhausted all the time, but I was also working insane hours and just chalked it up to that. I hadn't had any of the "classic" symptoms.

I dunno. It's all too scary. I'm doing better today, thank you. I appreciate everyone who's taken the time to try to help me feel better.
