I also am interested in the topic of Omega 3 and whether it can help platelets. Interestingly a few weeks back I started taking Flax Oil (1 dstspn per day) and my last platelet count was 151, highest since I was diagnosed with MDS and up from low 100's in previous months. It could be an aberration so I'll see what my result is in a week or so when I have my next test.

Re clotting times, etc do any of you have low fibrinogen associated with low platelets? I was interested to learn that my APTT is also lower than normal. My specialist has only been having this tested the last couple of months.
