Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) and viruses

Hello,

I have some questions about having high platelets. My levels increased from 500's to 600's, from 2022 to 2023. I would like to know if Vitamin C will help decrease the platelet since I've also read that it could contribute to increasing the platelet range. Also, in having 600s platelets, is it recommended to visit a hematologist as soon as possible since I've been told to wait 4 months to see if the platelets decrease with taking a baby aspirin per day?
Thank you.

Depends on your age and other risk factors. Vit C and D didn't change my platelets. I would keep taking aspirin and getting re-tested. My Hemo said counts can change from morning to afternoon to evening, they don't really know....but high platelets can result in clots, strokes, heart attacks .....so word to wise,,,,,I've been on HU with baby aspirin for a few years now
