Is anyone experiencing low platelet counts? I have had ITP for over 2 years and am wondering if one of my MS drugs is causing it.

After being normal my whole life, my platelet count dropped to zero. We used Rituximab and steroids to try to fix it. That helped but it came back. I now get weekly NPlate injections.

I take copaxone, ampyra, lyrica and baclofen.

My lymphocyte count has been low since Oct. 2014 when I stopped taking Teciferda and has not increased much over time. I am now on Copaxone, hopefully the counts will go up and not down
