My platelets are high! In fact they are higher than they have been in ages! 128. A veritable feast of platelets. Doc doesn't know why I have the blood spots. It could be that my platelets were really low a week ago and that they have recovered already. It could be that I am weird. It could be that I have an additional condition alongside the ITP, but IMO, if it's a problem that no one can actually find then it can't be that much of a problem! I was so excited I stuffed my face with cookies, chips, spaghetti and cheese and celebrated with a glass of sparkling water - who says I don't know how to live it large! I am still going to do what Ewa says and consult a sports doc to see if they have any more information. I'd hate to get close to a marathon (or even a hilly 12K) and have to pull out at the last minute. Better to know what I am facing before it happens. Thanks for putting up with me! Claire xxx

LOL! And that gives you a great excuse to go "run it off!" Big grin

Hurray! Go for a nice run to celebrate. I tried to google for your condition and the only thing i could find was warnings to avoid contact sports, nothing about running. Anyway, good luck with your training. Ewa

So no slamming into runners who get in your way, OK?! Big grin
