Low MPV for 6 months, petichiae, high B12

Hello,

I've noticed that over the last 6 months I've had about 4 or 5 full blood count tests back showing that my MPV has fallen to around 5.4. It's normally been around 9/10 and I've never had any blood issues before. Around the time when it initially fell I also had petichiae rash on my lower legs and was bruising quite easily. Supplementing with some iron seemed to help as that quite low albeit normal at around 25 at the moment. My B12 has been abnormally high for about a year now but my gp says the liver can store it for years and I had supplemented with it so we are seeing what happens there. I'm a bit concerned I might have something like leukemia but am not familiar with too many of the symptoms. I do get night sweats sometimes but that's nothing new for me. Nosebleeds can take a while to clot. Given all of my other FBC results are normal it seems it's just my platelets have become small. Did anyone else ever experience anything similar?

Thanks!
