Hi Laura,
Firstly wish you good luck with your platelets and hope they recover soon! I agree with Marlene she has given good advice my platelets started dropping quite significantly a few months ago, I asked my dr's about B12 should I be having it and they told me no, then I approached another one of my dr's and told her that I had read that the medication I take may affect B12 absorption as I have gastritis and take ant-acid meds she heard what I said and did a blood test to check B12 levels which came back low, I was then given B12 shots over a 2 week period (think I had 6 in all) and they did blood test couple of weeks later and my B12 levels had risen my platelets now are 120k and I will continue with a B12 shot every 3 months. Hope this helps.
