Herpes infection within the body,couses platelets to go down even on nplate?

Hi there.

My wife is diagnosed with ITP 2 years ago,she is on nplate and has her ups and down with increasing and decreasing the dose to stay round 100, she never had any bleading even when the platelets were 3000.

Every time she gets a herpes on her lips or nose her platelets dive down and she has to increase her dose. After 3 weeks when herpes it's gone she gets back to 100 -130 mark and we lower the dose again.We think that it's the herpes infection within her body that couses the Itp,the doctors will not look in to it just as they can't prove it or cure herpes.we are thinking to see a homeopath doctor regarding herpes to see if he can cure it.

Has anyone had this problem?

Anyone got help from a homeopath doctor before?

Thanks
