Platelet Drop
Currently sitting in the ER due to some crazy labs. I am a 40/m and currently in TRT, Reta and Tesa. My doctor knows about the Reta and prescribed the TRT and Tesa.
A dexa scan recently confirmed visceral fat was high while the rest of body fat was normal to low. I had low-T and started it in January. Reta first of April and end of April.
TRT- 50units twice weekly
RETA- 1mg weekly
TESA - 5imits mon-fri
(Sorry don’t have my sheet in front of me)
Started getting Petechiae first of the month, very light at first and thought it was heat rash from working out. It got worse and then Tuesday I had a massive knot on my leg that turned purple. Went to an Urgent Care and the blood work came back today.
The doctor pretty much said go to the ER right now! My platelet count was 3000, with normal range being 150k - 450k. Pretty much I was not able to clot anymore and I was bleeding under my skin and possibly internal bleeding. Other labs came back normal or perfect.
Does anyone have any idea or has had similar reaction to any of these meds? I stopped use of course but have to push these thru my system. Waiting to get new labs and see what the doctors want to do.
