High platelet count: What does this mean?

My platelet count won't come down and stay down. On occasion, it will be 330 but jumps back up as I have blood tests every 2 weeks....have for years now. I also take a low dose aspirin. I did a bad thing recently and really needed a break from the drugs. After two weeks, I was starting to feel like myself again. It was great. Of course, my hemotologist doesn't know I did it but a nurse once told me that we have to be advocates for our own selfs sometimes. I'm 69 and don't look forward to feeling exhausted the rest of my life.

Darlaburley….
You are on two different drugs each with own side effects. Out of curiosity what dosages are you taking? Some people are advanced to Pegasys injections. It is expensive though.
