Does Stress Cause Decrease Of Platelets?
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?
