I have heard that covid vax makes them decrease for a while..not increase. I have had 7, at first , I wondered if all due to covid vax, but looking at my labs, they started trending up before covid existed

A decrease is seen with ITP. I have ET. I've been tracking data on my platelets since 2014. They were normal until I started getting COVID-19 shots. They go up each time I have a COVID shot. Following the COVID and RSV shots in Fall 2023, they went up another 100K. As of this week, I have to take HU 4x a week. I'm not taking the Covid booster recommended for 65+. I will keep wearing my mask. I have not caught Covid or any other illnesses in 4 years, but I am immune suppressed by taking oral chemo. Oral chemo gives me chronic fatigue.
