What Causes Drop In Platelet Count With History Of Hashimoto's?

i have had hashimotos since 3005, i've also had slapingo-oophorectomy. back then i had probloms with low hemoglobin, but my platelet count was normal. in 209 my platelet count had drooped to 101,000. then Nov of last year i had unexplained high temp when CBC was done my platelet count had dropped to 81,000, the physichian told me to take Ferli_6 one tab per day-that didn't seem to help coz it dropped to 71,000 within 2 weeks. then it seemed to get better. in jan my family doctor told me to take 2 Ferli per day n bt the 23rd the platelet count had increasd to 82,000. then on the 16th i had another bout with high temp another cbc was taken n it showed a drop of platelet to 65,000(all in 20 days). should i worry?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have low platelet count with fever. You may have viral fever like dengue or other type. You should test for dengue and malaria and then take treatment accordingly. It has no relation with your hashimotos thyroiditis or your surgery.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
