Hi Carl0 , sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis , I'm to on that journey at the moment, having had a high platelets . I've had an x Ray and numerous blood tests I've lost count . Suffering from fatigue and dizziness etc .
Next week I have a kidney scan and a bone marrow biopsy . 
Did you have one to as I'm anxious just thinking about the procedure. 
Trying to figure out the cause , could be kidney stones which may be causing the rise in platelets or could be something else . I'm only going to be reassured perhaps after all the tests have been carried out then I have a consultant appointment on the 2nd February.

Any advice would be very welcome.

I hope you are doing well and coping ok .

Hi there, I’m struggling too

im only 24 years old and have been diagnosed with this, I have two very young children and I’m struggling to take care of them full time and do everything else myself. I was only diagnosed this past Friday 

i have had any other tests yet still waiting on my appointment with my specialist 

any advice will be helpful

Hi Jazzbee98 , 

So sorry to hear of your diagnosis and that your struggling to cope . It must of been a shock , I'm finding the forum a great help . I'm sure there will be other members who will get in touch .

If you don't mind me asking was your diagnosis purely on blood test results.

Im still waiting for my bone marrow biopsy results, ( 3rd May )  taking longer as these needed to be sent away for further testing and a second opinion. 
I have had several other tests and consultants appointments. 
 

It's a lot to take in at the moment and trying to keep everything going at home and work . 
Take each day as it comes , I'm here for a chat anytime.
