Default mestinon making weakness worse???

This is for the boffins since I know what they are now (LOL)

Alice,
I would love to hear your medical opinion on what I've discovered...
After spending the last couple of hours researching all my meds and my symptoms I may have come up with something. From what I've read the Dapsone causes an increased platelet count and weakness. I am going to call my hematologist in the morning but think that is what is causing this horrible fatigue and shakiness. I have Thrombocytosis which is a high platelet count. I am on Agrylin which keeps it well controlled and my platelets run around 450,000-500,000 now. I am honestly terrified and am not taking the Dapsone in the morning until I talk to my Hemo. I am so scared that my platelets have skyrocketed and I don't want to risk having a stroke. Do you think this could be a possibility?
