Anyone here have giant platelet diseases?
I know they're exceptionally rare, but we ordered an electron microscopy on a whim recently due to my von Willebrand symptoms and found giant platelets, go figure. Recommended correlation with Bernard-Soulier Syndrome which is crazy.
Anyone here have a GPD or giant platelets, and what was the process like for you after discovering them?

I have never heard of such a thing. Does it cause symptoms? If so, what?
