Elevated Platelets for 3 years?

I have had elevated platelets for 3 years now. Followed by a hematologist this whole time, the highest being only around 600, but never in the normal range. I've done the bone marrow biopsy, all the blood tests known & no explanation to why it continues. Today I went for my routine visit, my platelets were 500 & my MPV was 6.4, which is low. My MPV has been a little low in the past as well. My doctor said if at my next appt. my platelet count is as high we will do another bone marrow biopsy(it has been 3 years).
Does anyone have any insight or had anything similar to this?
I take a baby aspirin daily & that all. It's a little frustrating not having answers although I know this count is nothing compared to others counts, I just don't want to be missing something?
Thanks in advance.
