I have beaten the odds so far in my life. I have been lucky and my doctors will agree. About 8 years ago I went in for a yearly medical exam to find out that I had a really high platelet count. Through lots and lots of test I haven’t really found out to much about why and how to fix it. I did find out that I my organs are flipped around and things like my spleen, liver, appendix, etc. are on the opposite side than the normal person. This isn’t a cause for my extremely high platelet count but it is rare. So what makes me consider myself lucky? Well the doctors said that they cannot see how in all of these years, I have managed to fight the problems associated with thrombocytosis. Blood clots are a huge occurrence in elevated platelet counts which can cause a stroke. All the medicines that I have been on have not touched my count level. I feel good and don’t seem to have any complications. So I have decided to enjoy every moment I can and be thankful that what I should be experiencing with this disease I have managed to fight all odds. Call it what you will but I must have luck somewhere on my side!
