Does stress affect ITP?  Had spleen removed.  Now have 5 splenic nodes.  Could these be causing my problems with platelets getting low off and on for 30+ years?  Have been on prednisone treatment for most of that time, years ago sometimes 100 mg q day.  Now much lower dosages but still on.  Have a lot of stress.  Again, could this cause my platelets to go down?
Dear friend ... greetings from Chat Doctor... but unlikely that stress causes the low platelet count ... but it's always good to reduce stress ...do some yoga / meditation ... Panama ... do take more of fruits and fruits and vegetables will help ... if you are a non-vegetarian do take thin slices of fish / chicken/meat occasionally ... thank you for contacting us ... do take care .
