Costello, I'm not sure but I believe the diagnosis you are asking about is essential thrombocytosis, if this is not the correct disease you are looking for I apologise.
Thrombocytosis is an excessive count of platelets, which as you know helps with blood coagulation. I am giving you some good links that explain this disease further and will help give you a better understanding of it.
This one is fairly informative. Be sure to check out the links within the articles for more medical information:

This following PDF file is brief but probably has the best explanation and information about thrombocytosis:

If you want more articles on it please shoot me an email and I will send you more/different links on current treatments or whatever.
