Can I still get my N-Plate shot If I'm Sick? was created by tgurin12
I woke up this morning and tried to work out and started throwing up. I've been weak and feeling yucky since then. I'm do for N-Plate tomorrow. The nurses are idiots (sorry, they are). Any one on N-Plate ever get their injection when they were sick?

Illness in itself is not a reason to withhold Nplate but it really depends what your count does when you're sick. If I have an infection my count tends to fall or do nothing so I just carry on with the Nplate as normal. But I just had two weeks of antibiotics and my count went up to near 200 so I stopped the Nplate for a week. My count has now plummeted so I did the injection as usual last Friday.
