I’ve had a high platelet count close to two years. They’re calling it Thrombocythemia they did some genetic tests yesterday and I haven’t had bone marrow done yet . I’ve started having problems from bleeding taking the aspirin . He said to stop the aspirin and we could take the platelets out with a machine that removes from your blood . My feet and hand turn all shades or red and burn like fire all the time or their cold as ice turning white or blue tingling . The haven’t felt well in very long time . The blood doctor thinks I have MPN or something like that . I am a smoker which is likely not helping this situation but I’m struggling to quit it’s a very strong addiction. I hope we will all be ok . This is very scary . Really it is . Looks like there’s no end to this will be an ongoing problem.
