3. Years ago I was diagnosed with ITP Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia. Different from what you have

but after being treated with mega doses of prednisone (1977-1978) with no good results the Dr finally decided to remove my spleen.

I have had no recurrence since.

The problem I have now is platelets that are too high!

They don't stay consistently high and can vary by two or three hundred from month to month. Very odd.

My Hematologist is keeping an eye on it as well as numerous other blood issues I have. So far it's not causing any problem.


Good luck with your situation.

I wish yours was as easy a fix as mine was.
