Then I would make an appointment with your primary care and they can refer you to a hematologist. Likely they would do blood work to check for gene mutations, but for sure they will get you on hydrea to get your platelets down to a lower level. You are VERY young to have this problem and needto geta handle on it before you do start having the really bad symptoms (stroke/heart attack).

Yeah, for sure! I’ve been trying, but I guess me being medically illiterate is holding me back. I got the referral to the same hematologist twice, but haven’t been able to be seen. Here’s hoping I can find one that will actually let me pay out of pocket if I can.
