To SHO5,

Read your story you mentioned you are no longer taking the med Hu. How are your platelets since you stopped taking them. Yes, stress does have an effect on the platelets. In fact when mine were in the 600 count I was faced with lots of mental stress of losing my sister & a close friend at the same time. Mine continued to go up over the mill mark,and could not take the risk of what might happen. Let us know how you are doing, and when you had your last plt count. From what I have read should one discontinue taking their meds after they are down eventually they continued to esculate at a higher rate. Maybe your one of the lucky ones. Let us hear from you

Thanks,

Have a nice day;) ;) ;) ;)
