Suggest Remedy To Increase Platelet Count

i suffered with low platelet count of 11000 during feb 2010 and i was given steroid which increased the count to 93000. After 15 days again platelet dropped to 13000. My physican advised for bone marrow test and the result revealed that ' Production is normal and destruction in enroute' he advised to take steroid 10 mg for one month. After that also count is only 55000. Now i am taking steroid omnacartil 5 mg and azoron 100 mg daily for 90 days with fortnightly blood test. Still my count is only 55000. i am expecting your suitable advise.

Hi, dear.

You have immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Your immune system causes destruction of platelets. Steroid is helpful to supress your immunity and it will leads increase in platelet count.
