low platelet count
Has anyone heard of MS causing a drop in platelet count? I have many symptoms of MS, but have had clean brain and cervical MRI's as well as normal emg and nerve conduction study. However, my platelets have been a little low on three blood tests 135,127, and 141.
Well that went well lol. Let's try again Red Flag Range: under 50,000 or over 600,000cu.mm
Vitamin B12 deficiency mimics MS. This is nothing to mess around with as permanent nerve damage will occur if not treated in time. If your B12 serum levels are lower than 800pg/mL or 600pmol/L you need a boost to optimal range.
