I was diagnosed with essential thrombosytosis. this all started with my toe turning purple and painful. ive had us of legs. nothing was found.now what?

ET: Likely your purple toe was related to ET, but maybe not. 1st have your MD explain how ET was diagnosed and what treatment goals are. That is too difficult to communicate in 400 characters. But generally normalization of platelet and WBC values is desired.
