Hi Bcana69,

I would say that "all of the above" could have caused your platelets to drop. If your normal platelet count was 300k, you probably wouldn't have even noticed a 20k drop.

My platelets always drop when I am sick and I almost always freak out a little. They can stay low for weeks afterwards too. The important thing is that they don't further decline once you are well and that they eventually start to go up!

Congratulations on your progress! Hopefully this is just a blip. Stay calm and carry on!
