Hello to everyone, sorry it has been a while since my last post. It's been a crazy time, trying to wrap up the school year for all the kids.
Everything is okay. My last visit to the doctor went fine, my numbers are coming back down, I think my platelet count was about 550,000. I am still feeling very fatigue and my doctor still dismisses it at every appointment and says he thinks it has nothing to do with the Hydroxyurea. BUT I DO! I am continuing to take all my meds everyday and we'll see how it goes. Also, I still have the pins and needles sensations up and down my left arm.
I bit my tongue this past Saturday and it hurt but I thought it would go away soon. The tongue is suppose to be one of the fastest healing parts of our bodies. It has been four days and it hurts more! I looked and on the bottom of my tongue I have a few little white bumps in a line (they don't look like cold sores) and the back of my tongue on the bottom looks black. Hummm? I looked some stuff up and it could be a side effect of the Hydroxyurea or from my anemia. I am going to have my family doctor check it out tomorrow and I will post the results. Hopefully it's nothing.
Again, sorry it took so long to post but the count down is on, the school year is almost over! YEAH! Looking forward to a homework free summer!
I hope everyone is doing well and I will post after I see the doctor.
Take Care -
Shayna
