A member asked:
I have sle, & bullous pemphigoid (blisters). what would be good to raise low platelets? (med &/or foods, vitamins)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low Plt: Your medication list doesn't have the common medications that cause low Plts. SLE is a common cause. Therapy for low plts is determining cause and treating the same. Would talk to your Rheumatologist and determine how low are the numbers and not all low numbers needs therapy. A blood specialist can look at your blood smear slide and offer a great input. But remember not all number need therapy.
