Check with your doc, but my understanding is that aspirin does not lower platelet counts, it just makes them "slippery" so that they are less likely to clot. There's some research being done on clotting factors of platelets of MPN patients, specifically on why super high platelet levels cause bleeding, which seems counter-intuitive. That research is WAY beyond my grasp, but it does suggest that there are things about our blood cells, and blood cells generally, still to be understood.

Yes I am, my homeopath said I can take 200 3 times a day and yes I find it helps, it thins the blood and no side affects, but it does not reduce platelets. Always best to seek advice on what to take.
