How Madalyn Marshall treated high platelet count?

Note - This article is written by one of our patients about their experiences with high platelet count.

I'm Madalyn Marshall, and I appreciate the chance to talk to you about my personal journey. Due to the demands of my job, my life has been a constant tornado of worry and anxiety. I had no idea that when I learned that my platelet levels were high, my struggle would become even more difficult. Please allow me to tell you my tale and how I handled this challenging circumstance.

Tight deadlines, tense meetings, and the never-ending demands of my profession filled my day. I was expected to be at the top of my game as a marketing executive, making snap judgements and shouldering enormous duties. My desire was always fueled by anxiety, which also had a negative impact on my mental and physical health.

My doctor advised me that my platelet count was slightly increased at 470, barely beyond the typical range of 150 to 450, during a routine check-up. Even if the difference appeared to be slight, it felt like an extra load for someone who already experiences worry.

I was aware that putting off the problem would only make my anxiety worse and jeopardise my wellbeing. I went to my doctor for advice because I was trying to regulate my high platelet counts and take back control of my life.

She emphasised how crucial it was for me to adequately control my stress levels in order to avoid more issues. She also suggested lifestyle changes to reduce my anxiety and assist me control my platelet count.

I started implementing stress-reduction strategies into my everyday routine to deal with my anxiety. With the help of meditation, I was able to set aside some time each morning for mindfulness and to concentrate on my breathing. This routine enabled me to quiet my racing thoughts and gave me a feeling of clarity and centre while I went about my daily activities.

Regular exercise also become a crucial component of my daily routine. Exercise not only helped me feel less stressed, but it also made me feel better overall. Exercise evolved become a useful means of letting go of bottled-up stress and worry, whether it was going for a brisk stroll in the park or setting aside time at the gym.

In addition, I deliberately prioritised rest and self-care. I set aside time for pastimes that made me happy and helped me relax. These moments of relaxation, whether it was reading a good book, engaging in artistic hobbies like painting, or simply spending time with loved ones, became essential in overcoming the everyday stresses of work.

I carefully followed Dr. Wilson's advice regarding controlling my platelet counts. To control the formation of my platelets, she prescribed medicine and suggested routine checkups to track their development. I was able to monitor the efficacy of the therapy and make sure that my platelet levels stayed within a safe range during periodic checkups.

I met obstacles and failures along the way that put my fortitude to the test. There were times when my anxiety threatened to consume me and I had second thoughts about finding a balance between my profession and my health. But with tenacity and the unfailing encouragement of my loved ones, I persisted in moving forward.

I can proudly state that I have come a long way since then. While anxiety still pops up now and then, my platelet levels have stabilised, and I have improved my coping skills. I now recognise the value of balancing my personal achievement with my professional success, and I am dedicated to doing so.

My battle with high platelet counts acted as a wake-up call that inspired me to put my health first and find more healthy ways to deal with worry. My journey to more calm and contentment has been one of self-discovery and personal development.
