It is imperative that you find out the cause of your increased WBC count, don't wait ...
I was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia in December 2022. My platelets have been kept under control with 500 mgs of Hydroxyurea 3 x a week. A recent blood test shows abnormally high B12 levels. Anything over 900 is concerned high. My level is 7,500. This level scares me.
I began a battle with high platelet count about 5 years ago. My platelets from Essential Thrombocythemia were over 1.0 million without any drugs until my first 2 doses of the Moderna SARS2 vaccine and spike proteins in early 2021. The vaccine caused my platelet count to exceed 1.5 million and I noticed pressure in my brain.

The Moderna vaccine jacked up my platelet count from 1.2 million to over 1.4 million. I hope this helps you. Good day to all..
JAK2 Mutation - Effects and Questions. Have JAK2 mutation verified twice; one year apart and from different labs. As I understand, it may cause polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytosis, or leukemia. My hematologist has not provided any real info on this mutation so I've been researching via internet.
Hi @mgrimes5, I's like to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. You came to the right place to seek possible causes of high platelet count with a negative JAK2 test. I know that @shenriq and @mjpm2406 had positive JAK2s but perhaps they can lend some insight on what their physicians tested for prior to finding the mutation.
I take wheatgrass as well. She didn’t say much about that either. I don’t overdue it. I take half of what they recommend you take. My red and white counts are very good. I know they say to. Stop the papaya leaf extract and wheatgrass 10 days before surgery because it could interfere with the anaesthesia.
