I remember you telling us about it way back. I'm really sorry to hear that you're still suffering. It's good that you had a haematoligist who could help you through it. It was a horrible time and it's worth remembering that it's not over for everyone.I'm one of the unfortunate people whose immune system reacted badly to the first AstraZeneca covid vaccine. My red blood cell count went super low and for a period of time I was at high risk of stroke. My body was covered in really big bruises. If it wasn't for my Haematologist's help, I feel my body would have shut down through my blood going wonky. With all the bruises I looked like I'd been run over by a truck. Anyhow, I now suffer with chronic vaccine induced thrombocytopenia purpora (VIITP). There's a lot worse off than me that's for sure so I'm not moaning or anything.
Thanks jojojo, thats kind of you. I'm really impressed you remember my previous post. I wish I wasn't crazy and that I didn't have the chronic VIITP...but I'm not and I doI remember you telling us about it way back. I'm really sorry to hear that you're still suffering.

I hope you're still getting the help you need.
Right but the issue is more to do with them now admitting whereas previously they denied it.That’s what the crazies say. But no. A tiny number vs lives saved, far better than most vaccines harm rate.

It's one of those things where you want other people to know if you know rather than denying it and then admitting it later in a court doc

Hi Wibble. Thanks for your kind words. It is a lot better and I'm very thankful for that. I was put on some strong drugs. One was called Eltrombopag and although the side effects were a bit iffy, it worked and brought my red blood cell count up to just under normal levels. I haven't developed any plaque though, which good.Sorry to hear that and thanks for taking one for the team. No help to you of course but I believe the risk of thrombosis from COVID infection is far higher (not to mention the other health outcomes). And is it getting better? I guess a complication is that this is so rare because it took such an unprecedented vaccination program to be able to identify and study it, so there is only "normal" thrombosis to rely on for history/treatment, and I don't think they know why it is even rarer with the mRNA vaccines.
That's what happened to me, its called Thrombocytopenia, specificallyfor me Vaccine Induced Immuno Thrombocytopenia Purpora. My immune system didn't like the first AstraZeneca vaccine and my body went on a path of not producing anywhere near enough blood platelets. It showed itself by giving me huge multi coloured bruises. I'm very fortunate that the situation was caught in time and that my really low platelet count started to go back up. I was having three blood tests a week for around two months. The problem means that for some poor folk they suffered bleeding in the brain and then died. I think there was also some kind of clotting issue in the brain as well but can't remember what it is.The risk of stroke is heightened for people such as me and I'm told the Thrombocytopenia is chronic.Just wondering whether there was any known issue with low platelet counts as a side effect of AZ?
