Hello all, I have been dealing with a very low platelet count for the past year now, currently at 11,000. Been on prednisone and when at 50 Mg count has gone up as much as 140 but very time the dosage is lowered count goes down significantly. My platelet count was 340,000, got COVID shot then 30 days later developed bruising and blood test revealed platelet count at 19,000. A year later prednisone seems to be losing its affects and count not going up. Dr is starting me on Rituxmab next week. 4 -8 weeks. As of today I'm developing symptoms i never had before such as blood in my nose and on the white of my eyes. Getting nervous. Dr didn't seem alarmed at my count of 29 so just waiting the week until i start the Rituxmab. Hoping someone has had similar experience and the Rituxmab worked. I was 48 and perfectly healthy before i got the vaccination, Now a year later i was forced to retire and getting worse
