My blood results came back fine except for the reaccuring problem with low platelets and red blood cells.

Hello. Thank you for writing.

I can give you some general information. Thrombocytopenia refers to a low blood platelet count. Platelets are fragments of larger cells that circulate in the blood and play a role in preventing excessive bleeding. People with low blood platelets do not commonly display symptoms, but may be at risk for serious bleeding during and following trauma or surgery. Thrombocytopenia has many causes, including cancer, medications, alcohol, disease, and infections. We are not suggesting any of the above may be the reason in your case.

One other fairly common reason is a Vitamin B12 deficiency. Many people have this deficiency and don't know it. Have you had this checked?

Best,
Susan
