She needs to alert her doctor about these side effects and get his/her advice. Her dose may need to be adjusted, or she may need a different medication.

Thanks. Her doctors have said doing NOTHING is an alternative and that the other medications have more side effects. They also say she is on the lowest dose to control her platelets. Since this is the only option, we are hoping to learn coping skills from patients of this rare illness. Thanks!
