Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...  Im 47/ female - In Fall 2010 my blood test came back slightly low blood platelet count.  I stopped taking vitamin c and a month later the count was fine.  A few weeks ago my tsh was slightly elevated.  Any connection between the two? - my mom has hashimotos thyroid problems.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. No, There is no connection between low platelet count and elevated TSH.2. If the platelet count is above one lakh, not to worry. 3. TSH if elevated, needs correlation with thyroid hormone levels, and if its reduced, you will need thyroxine therapy. A thyroid autoantibody and FNAC study is necessary for evaluation of Hashimoto thyroiditis. Elevated TSH is one of the earlier symptoms of it.4. Taking It B12 supplements, will be helpful for low platelet count. . Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
