Brings my numbers up but I am sick for a week after Diarra fatigue severe leg and hip pains. Lasts 3 to 7 days. Then I just start to feel better time for a shot again. It makes me not feel like me. It does keep me safe in numbers I am now holding at 200000 for 3 wks so that helps to give me more good days then bad. Hoping this will now go to 4 wks since I am holding a little longer.

ITP presents after pneumonia. Dr. sent me to cancer center. They stated I had cancer but they only treating me for ITP (NPlate). Then said I don't cancer. Doctors utterly confused.

ITP presents after pneumonia. Dr. sent me to cancer center. They stated I had cancer but they only treating me for ITP (NPlate). Then said I don't cancer. Doctors utterly confused. Have been getting shot each week for 5 years, platelettes up and down sporadically, also prescribed Vitamin D2 which is known to be far less effective than D3. (But they cannot prescribe D3, the natural version of the D2 synthetic, so no money to be made.) Lost job in May, switched to OTC Vit. D3, have not had shot since then, no symptoms. They begged me to come back, told me I would die! Advised no job, no $$, no insurance. They were ADAMANT that I MUST have shots!!!! Injured arm in August and blood clotting was normal. Cancer Center accidentally sent insurance bill to my house. Shots are billed to insurance at $15,600 per shot!!!! That's $4,056,000 in five years time. Seems like this whole deal is a HUGE money-making scam. They refused to sign any paperwork stating I had cancer after two doctors told me I did. They have proved NOTHING to my satisfaction.

Tried Nplate October 2014 Got 3 blood clots after the first few injections. the Dr. told me to take aspirin and stay on the Nplate. Amgen Rep said it was impossible that could happen.

Tried Nplate October 2014 Got 3 blood clots after the first few injections. the Dr. told me to take aspirin and stay on the Nplate. Amgen Rep said it was impossible that could happen. Took it for a total of 14 weeks and the clots spread up my leg to my groin area. The Dr. took me off the Nplate and put me om blood thinners for 3 months and also prednisone to keep my platelets up. The D-Dimer test showed that a foreign substance in my body triggered the clots and said it had to be the Nplate after 3 months clots gone d-dimer showed everything excellent. Had other side effects that made my life miserable for many months! Not happy with the drug Nplate or the company Amgen who says its just a fluke. Found a few others who had the same problem with clots after 3 shots clots in both legs! I'm in the process of using a top law firm to pursue the matter since Amgen doesn't care!

At first i noticed no side effects but now i suffer joint-pains in arms and neck and back,also tingleing in my fingers and tiredness and sometimes a general feeling of unwell.I also have Arthrites and i am not if this also contributes to the problem
