For one person, a platelet count of 100 is totally fine, while for someone else, it’s a medical emergency. It’s like body temperature—my baseline is usually around 96. My "normal" is different from yours.
Take my dad, for example. He’s battling CML, so his platelets hover between 8 and 30, and his white cell count sits somewhere between 80 and 170 (when the standard range is around 4.6). When his iron levels finally hit 100, we throw a party...
Hey, is there any way to boost platelet counts besides using corticosteroids? I’m sitting at 38 right now, but seven months ago I was down to 3, so they kept messing with my Medrol dosage. Just wondering if there’s anything natural out there. Thanks in advance.
