Just came back from lab work and my platelet count is down to 755. Am happy eventhough its still high. God is good and He answers prayers. My whole bible study group gathered around me last night and everyone prayed for me. Besides prayers, diet I think plays a part too. Doc advised to drink lots of water. I stopped cinnamon powder which I think was one of the reasons for the increase 2 weeks ago. I still have joint and muscle pains but wont let that stop me from my 4 hours/week cardio exercises.

Asked doc about coated aspirins vs non coated aspirins. She said any aspirin will do. She advised me to take pepto-bismol every night as this lines our stomach and prevents ulcer or whatever effect aspirins has on our stomachs.

Will continue to pray for a cure for ET( with no side effects).
