Fatigue is common...: Your platelet count and WBC are minimally elevated, and i doubt they have anything to do with your symptoms. The list of causes of fatigue is very long. Some other common causes of fatigue that i see in my practice include under active thyroid, depression / stress, and sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. Talk to your doctor.

Early iron lack: Lack of iron can cause fatigue (usually with anemia) and mild elevation in plate count. Normal platelet count 180-250, 000.
