Abby, definitely a good idea to have your blood work checked. A few years ago I had an episode of severe thrombocytopenia for a very different reason. I was taking bactrim and it suppressed my bone marrow so I didn't produce platelets. I had many petechial hemorrhages all over my body, even in my mouth. By the time my doctor checked my bloodwork my platelet level was 7,000. By the time I made it to the ER it was 2,000. Definitely a critical situation. I received a platelet transfusion, 4 units, and treatment with prednisone. That's all it took to correct the situation for me. You don't want to let it get to that point. Do you have any bruises?
