I am wondering if your father was in Viet-Nam.Reason I ask is that I have just the opposite,extremely high (But now under control) platelets.I have a rare condition called essential Thrombocytosis.No cure but manageable.I was stationed in Viet-Nam (U.S Air Force) 1970/1971 and I'm am fighting tooth and nail about a claim I have with the VA.Seems like these conditions may be associated with exposure to Agent Orange.ANY troop spending time in 'Nam WAS exposed to AO regardless of the length of time.The VA is not co-operating and denies even the possibility of AO being linked to low or high platelets issues.I am fighting for an investigation about this.From NH, GOD bless you,your husband and family and good luck.
