Hi @TAB
I went to the doctor today and she said the low platelet count was nothing to worry about. Apparently it’s quite common and because I don’t have any other symptoms I shouldn’t worry unless it drops below 50.
Luckily I also needed a prescription so it wasn’t a completely wasted trip. She also weighed me and took my blood pressure.
Lucky doctor is going to Ireland to visit her elderly Mother in about 10 days time for 3 weeks.

@Oaktree went to GP today they said need notes from old doctor
Got a call from haematologist after got home. I had a negative test for one of blood clotting factors in january. I was not aware.
So if I get another one in a few months time, they can half my dose of blood thinners to the equivalent of taking an aspro, except less side effects .
