Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have fluctuating platelet count. But no any definite diagnosis. Please tell me your symptoms. Because fluctuating platelet count is not the disease or cause of worry unless you have any symptoms. You can go for bone marrow examination in undiagnosed thrombocyyopenia. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
