Question Platelets.

My problem is MDS but the kind that only affects the platelets. My count was 85,000 on 07/02/08 and the Dr's at Moffitt were concerned and put me on a dose pak of prednisone which took my count up to 140,000 on 07/08/08. When they drew blood on 07/15/08 it went down to 104,000 and they remained concerned. What is the normal fluctuation ammount of platelets supposed to be per day . I have to have blood drawn weekly so they can keep an eye on my condition. Any info would be most helpful !!!
