Hey @toepeekun, you might notice that I moved your post to a discussion talking about high platelet counts so you can bond with other members going through similar situations.
What treatment are you entering?
Good morning @toepeekun. Mild to moderately elevated platelet counts are commonly seen when chronic inflammation is present. In other cases a high platelet count can signal a more serious blood problem known as a myeloproliferative disorder.
It sounds like you’re familiar with this. Have you been diagnosed with thrombocytosis or myeloproliferative neoplasm? Are you in treatment at this time?
