Suffer From Low Platelet Count And Fever. Have Behcet S Disease And Osteoarthritis. Pain In The Body With Fatigue. Any Suggestions?

Hi. I am inquiring about low platelet count -90
I also have been running a low grade fever for 2 months.
But I do suffer from Behcet's Disease so I didn't think much
of the low grade 99.5-100.3 fever.

I am very fatigued and I have so many aches and pains. I do have
Osteoarthritis in most of my joints.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi !
Thank you for your query.

Well sInce you are experiencing bodyache , fatigue and fever that indicates that the disease activity is going on . Thrombocytopenia is not commonly seen in behcets disease but can be present . You havent mentioned the treatment you are taking for above conditions . i advise you to seek a rheumatologist at earliest and get your disease activity assesed by routine blood tests like ESR , CRP etc.so that your treatment can be modified accordingly . Possibilty of secondary fibromyalgia also exists.

If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
