Has anyone had a low platelet count of just 1?

Thanks! They did try a platelet transfusion today but my arm swelled up to a tennis ball and they had to stand down. I’m now on meds to build up platelet levels… definitely not playing any extreme sports for a while now… not that I ever did before LOL. Trying to keep smiling but I scare small children looking like a vampire after a feast with blood dripping from my fangs.

Oh John! You have me laughing with your vampire image. Been there myself…it’s a bit disconcerting. 😅
You have the dubious honor of taking top prize for the lowest platelet level. I’m sure you have your medical crew scratching their heads while looking for answers. Hopefully this is just a one-off anomaly and soon rectified.
Keep up with the sense of humor. It can sure help lift one over some lofty hurdles…no knife juggling though.
