White blood platelets

Hi
Wondered if anyone could advise me. Have had blood results back and blood count 9.6 and white blood platelets high. I have had stomach pains and last week I was given tablets to help with inflammation of the stomach. Had letter from doctors that I had to go and see them and went back yesterday and they want me to go for a scan on my stomach as they said that with RA it can affect the internal organs, i.e. spleen and liver. Got me frightened a little. Anyone else had to have this. Also I have had pains in my right calf. Have been so worried as I have ready that high white platelets have been linked to thrombosis.
Regards
Di

Also which result is it thats 9.5 ? Is it Haemoglobin?,it doesnt sound as tho your doctor has explained things very well to you do you have a rheumatology nurse you could contact or if you need clarification could you make another GP appointment.[/quote
Hi
Thanks for that. Sorry I have confused you my haemoglobin is 9.5 and doctor says it is my platelet level that is high.

Hi Di,
I am sorry your bloods have worried you but I too have high white cells and platelets count. I have a circulation problem and I wonder if maybe you have raynaud's or simular? That does get a high platelet count, at least the simular does. I have a drip every 4 months and it all helps to restore the balance. my white cell count is always high cus I have low grade infection all the time or maybe only when I have bloods done I hope they can sort you out soon. take care Cris0
