My second iron Infusion was fine. I didn’t get a headache this time but I felt short of breath and the infusion site burned. That didn’t bother me much, though. The thing that threw me off was my CBC. My hemoglobin was at 12.2, which was barely a fluctuation from Wednesday’s 12.5, but my platelets dropped from 115 to 98. That’s a drop of 17,000 in less than 48 hours…
I’m hoping this downward trend was just my platelets “leveling out”. When I see the hematologist on February 1st, I imagine my platelets will be between 95 & 110.
