TY Sfla! Yeah Haz is is a monster - looks all of 270+

I found this on Thrombocitosis, Marcus! It scared the shit outta me - I've gotta get this looked at tho I don't have a spleen it's not something I liked reading!

If you have discovered a low platelet count it can be from various different causes.

I'm going to assume if it a suspected issue the physicians will analyze the reticulocyte count in a blood sample to first determine if your body, the bone marrow, is producing immature red cells and platelets. If it is, it is a possible autoimmune issue that may, or may not, need a remedy. Also, if the reticulocyte count is normal it may be an issue with maturing platelets.

To be honest, these issues generally are idiopathic, and transient, with some cases that may require corticosteroids for a period of time as a first-time treatment.
Rare diseases like Evan's syndrome can happen, but those would include an unsafe, quick drop in your platelet count as opposed to a steady trend.

Follow up is necessary to spot those trends though. And I'm glad everyone in here is monitoring themselves as often and as well as you all are.

That link is discussing a high platelet count.

If your personal count is low, it may be due to the acquired absence of your spleen, which can have an effect on the maturity of platelets and, subsequently, a lower count.

A doc would be able to tell you if its worth worrying about. Some people have a "new normal" after a pranceatectomy, which is completely normal.

Keep an eye on the trend. Steady numbers are what you'll want to see, might be low compared to someone with a pancreas, but otherwise its healthy if they're steady.

[novastepp]

Dont you think it will help?

In reference to taking aspirin with a low platelet count. This would absolutely be contraindicated with a low platelet count. Very low platelet counts can be dangerous, so thinning the blood with aspirin or other meds like Plavix should be used with extreme caution.

Mine are elevated - through not having a spleen - reasons being I had to donate back east but out here they're much more strict even w/a therapeutic phlebotomy...

Since my splenectomy I've had elevated platelets and monocytes - I'm waiting for my labs to come in... I know having a splenectomy can and will elevate them both - also, as Kel stated it can be due to anxiety and stress both of which I have problems with!

I'm thinking w/both <3 together wouldn't help my situation much

[novastepp]

Elevated platelets can be caused by stress. In this case it would be called secondary thrombocytosis. Same goes for monocytes. Stress, anxiety, etc. can elevate them. There are other reasons but in this case that's what I'd probably point a finger at assuming they're not ridiculously high.

I didn't see this Kel. Great post.

Also, Nach, sometimes after surgery, especially the spleen, your body undergoes "Reactive thrombocytosis", which is usually very sudden and deliberate (around a week or so after surgery), however not always. And these increased levels can become a simple indicator of post procedural states, which are typically of no concern if they are not exacerbated.

I see that now brother, i responded above.

[novastepp]

Grabbed a resource Nach, and it indicates that in a patient who underwent a splenectomy under the age of 40, will most likely have a deficiency with antibody-coated platelet destruction.

Meaning that you will most likely have a higher normal range due to the fact that your body and immune system is not as adept at destroying older platelets. Hopefully for now, that provides you with some solace.

[NACH3]

Thx - Maybe that's why the docs never said anything about it... Shit I was just happy to be alive at that point - I saw the same age numbers as well

I'll just keep watching my numbers, etc - they've stayed pretty elevated(or right around the same number - I just read how I was pretty much 'reactive' also, leading to my auto immune deficiency or having a compromised immune system - due to the splenectomy... I have a tough time fighting off infections etc

Tapped off about 10oz maybe more... It coagulated very quickly in that bottle...

I pounded down all those meals I posted. 2 whey isolate shakes, a dark matter shake, plus my breakfast and I'm STARVING right now

[Sfla80]

Been busy building the start if the babies room today on the day off. But did hit arms this morning.

Wanted to go back for cardio tonight but I passed out after I put together the dresser. Such a pain in the ass that was. Not looking forward to the crib :/

Tris

Free motion machine and strecthing to warm up.

Straight set palms up ez bar pull downs into palms down.

Rope pull downs

Hammer dip machine into one handed db over head extensions.

Bi's

One arm db curls on incline bench

Incline db curls straight into one arm hammer preachers

Small straight bar close grip curls straight into hammers.

Arms are filling out nicely....look big with a good pump. Now to get them that way all the time lol

[OdinsOtherSon]

Shoulders today

Watched a couple YT vids prior to for some motivation.

Mil press 2 feeler, 1 work, 2 drop

DB presses, 2 feeler, 1 work, 1 drop

Seated rev flies sup/set w/ rev pec deck, 1 feeler each, 1 work each.

BB shrugs, 2 work

DB shrugs, 1 work, drop+4

35min, done.

Was spent at the end. Kept playing the vids over in my mind. At the end of the workout, I felt really good about what I did. Really felt that I achieved some true failure today.

[NACH3]

@Sfla - it's always that way lol - once you get em there then it's I want em like this now etc etc lolol I totally get ya!

@Odin - nice session... Seems you have the basics down well! Looking forward to seeing you grow w/all of us!

I don't know about 2 presses w/shoulders tho... I did this for some time and now I couldn't go w/2 presses in a session... Some can - with HIT and failure + beyond it's tough to do... Try going all out on your first press w/shoulders next time... Or pre-exhaust(just do your reg w/o backwards) lateral raises - front raises, rears, MP, shrugs) - just something to think about(from a different aspect)... great job brother! Keep doing what your doing - well done brother!

Damn 6'7 300... That's to big if for me.

I have been hitting everything extra hard since I have joined this thread. I try my best to stay caught up with everyone. Damn it hard though this thread moves so damn fast.

It's does lol

Food is the most important aspect for tall guys. If you want to weight 260 you have to eat like a 260lb man.

[Bodacious]

If I ate all of that I would fell horrible. I guess that's why your 270 and I am meslly 230. Lol

GAINS MFers!!! Lol...

Ps. Work is killing me tonight. It sucks when I can't lurk on here most of the night. Lol

[kelkel]

So what causes low platelets? I've had another blood test because they said mine could be of concern.

Normally, if there is such a thing, I'd say sickness, infections. It's your antibodies destroying platelets instead of infections. There's a lot of other things that can cause it.

[kelkel]

I need to get on some gear.

Looking big haz

He is, isn't he. Don't tell him I said that.
