I had a TIA at the end of 2014. After seeing many Doctors one Doctor referred me to a hematologist. Who is also called an oncologist. I have chrons and most of the past 9 years I have been anemic and I would just go and have an iron infusion. I usually have low red blood, white, hematocrit but high platelets. I have infusions for chrons also. I was looking for something on my My Chart and found I had Essential (hemorrhagic) thrombocythemia. I have so many conditions on My Chart I never noticed it. I never really fill great but I thought it was because of my chron and fibromyalgia. My Oncologist has never suggested I take anything for this disease and never really mentioned it. I can't take asprin because of chrons. I do take a blood thinner which was prescribed by another Doctor. I am usually given a choice of whether to come back to the Doctor in a month and a half or three months. I just thought if I get to feeling too bad I would just make an appointment and have another iron infusion. Does the name ( hemorrhagic) make the disease I have different from essential thrombocythemia?
