Low Platelets
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

For the first time in almost 8 years on Revlimid; I have low platelets. Has anyone been able to raise them up with diet?

Since my remission from Car T red blood cells have been low along with platelets. Levels have increased along with IgG.

2021.
...
Is there a natural way to increase platelet levels?
Folate (vitamin B9)-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, beans, peanuts, liver, and seafood.
Foods rich in vitamins B-12, C, D, and K, such as beef, liver, chicken, fish, seafood, citrus, tomatoes, potatoes, egg yolks, and cereals.

cytokine release syndrome comes from the destruction of the myeloma cells by the Car T Cells. I got it the second week of Car T at the hospital. I had high fever and was given antibiotics. Yes, I am 25 months into remission. My Oncologist had told a couple of months ago that without Car T Therapy I would be dead by now. As I have said before in some of my other answers, I had no choice.
