The Unstoppable Bloody Nose

Well, I'm heading to the ER in a few minutes. I'm finally giving in to it. I've had a bloody nose for several days now that just won't quit. Every time I lay down to sleep or something it gets out of control. My platelets are dangerously low and that's probably the cause. They told me that they are at 10, while the average person is anywhere between 150 and 300. So, pretty bad....

My doctor ordered me a platelet infusion and I got 1 pack yesterday, but I guess it wasn't enough. The on-call doctor at UCS says I should go to the ER and get some more because they are probably still too low. I hate the ER, but you've gotta do what you've gotta do I guess.

You must consult a physician and follow the instructions so that this stops.Excessive bleeding is not too healthy.
