Hello. I am new to this forum and I apologise if I am posting wrongly or in the wrong section

I was referred to a hematologist as my blood platelets have been high for the last 6 months. To start with my GP thought it might have been an infection so I had bloods taken every month and the levels weren't dropping.

I only had one appointment with the hematologist who said there was a chance it could be ET and booked me in for a bone marrow biopsy and a full body CT scan to check for any other problems. He started me on aspirin twice a day. 

Unfortunately covid hit and my test had to be cancelled, this was just before the lock down. Just recently I have started to get pins and needles and numbness in both hands and both feet. I contacted my GP and he had more bloods tests done to check for any vitamin B or any other deficiency which will be sent to the hematologist who I have an appointment with on the 8th, (June). But I did a bit of googling about pins and needles and a couple of results referred TO these being side effects of ET but i can't find any info to say if ET gives this sensation in both hands and both feet at the same time.

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me. 

Hopefully on the 8th he'll get me booked in for the tests again to find out if I have it or not.

Thank you for reading this. Jim

Edit. The hematologist also sent bloods off to check for gene mutations.
