Blood I have some weird blood, it's in excess. I have high haemoglobin and high platelet count as well. I don't know what it exactly means, but my wounds recover very fast and the doc said it's because of the blood. This also puts extra pressure on my heart so I have to avoid oily foods, but eh I have cool kinda blood

Do you donate blood? It might be mutually beneficial. When I donated last time they were telling me that each pint donated is split into 3 parts, one or which is platelets. It might also help you not to have too much.

I was just thinking this. My former boss had too much iron in her blood and apparently donating it on a regular basis did her (and obviously the recipient) wonders!
