I had a very brief chat with DrHera today. The first thing that she said when she saw me was, “How are you?”
I tried to evade that question.
“How are you?” she asked again.
“Okay la.”
“No, HOW ARE YOU?”
It was then that it hit me that she was really interested and concerned about me. I didn’t want to answer her because I thought I bore her. I then told her that my platelets have been dropping by nearly half since beginning of October. And on Tuesday, the vein where blood was taken from last Friday bled. Spontaneously, for no reason. It spooked me out.
I then said,
“I don’t know if it may be due to nutritional deficiency?”
Stupid question.
“But why is it that it’s not increasing even though I seemed to be eating more?”
Another stupid question.
“jasmine, it doesn’t happen that fast. It takes time.”
Speaking of which, my eating habits are pretty much consistent. Am still staying clear from counting and restricting calories, still not too panicky when I have to eat more than I usually do. But really when I start thinking about it – it’s simply because I don’t eat “normally” often. Say, once or twice a month?
Haven’t fallen sick in years, and I finally did. Maybe it’s due to the crazy pressure that I’m currently undergoing. God, please don’t let it affect my platelets anymore…
