Hi Paula,
Perhaps you have already seen these "warnings" from patients with low platelets. We are all different and many of us tolerate the drugs and food that can give other persons low platelets or increase bleeding risk:

You know the platelet count can change very fast and we don't know the reason but we should always be very careful with all kinds of drugs especially painkillers.
Kind regards
