Anyone else suffer from low platelets?

[sbadd]

Just curious does anyone with hashis suffer from random platelet levels, as my doct performs fbc everytime he does thyroid my results jump around

Normal platelets above 150

Highest ive recorded 170, last 4 bloods all been under 150, lowest 137, I do recall during a pregnancy 13 years ago being monitored as platelets were low, however they have always been low since, can autoimmune cause this?

Thankyou, all other possibilities been investigated so guessing this is the cause and being my last test showed tsh just over range, may explain why they are lower than norm, just waiting out 3 more weeks before retest of thyroid, if still showing high, im insisting on increase.

Most people, on levothyroxine need TSH around or frequently, well under 1

Essential to always test Ft4 and Ft3 plus all four vitamins
