Idiopathic thrombocytosis❗ Paulinka faces pain and difficult diagnosis❗
Highlights
Update
Paulinka's current health status
After a year of treatment, the bone marrow biopsy results are normal, and no mutations have been detected so far. This is very important and good news. Paulinka also had an abdominal ultrasound. In her case, it is particularly important to monitor the spleen, which can enlarge with this condition. Fortunately, its size remains normal. Doctors have noted only a slight enlargement of the kidney; however, as they emphasize, this is an individual characteristic of the body and does not pose a health risk.
Headaches and Further Diagnosis
She is still experiencing headaches. The cause has not yet been definitively determined. Doctors are considering, among other things, fluctuations in blood pressure. Paulinka remains under the constant care of a neurologist. Minor abnormalities have been detected in her EEG, so further monitoring is necessary.Platelet count
Your platelet count remains unstable and requires regular monitoring. Currently, it has not fallen below 840,000, but you need to have a complete blood count every two weeks to keep the situation under close watch.Follow-up visits and tests
The next clinic visit is scheduled for November 16. Paulinka will be admitted to the ward where will undergo further follow-up tests, including a bone marrow biopsy, an abdominal ultrasound, and detailed blood tests to check platelet levels. The neurologist will also decide whether an MRI of the head is necessary. Paulinka is also under the constant supervision of a cardiologist. A Holter monitor is scheduled to be fitted in April to accurately check whether the heart is functioning properly.The past few weeks
In recent weeks, Paulinka has been battling a strep throat infection. The course of antibiotic treatment lasted about a month and a half, with a brief break during treatment. Fortunately, the test taken later came back negative. April 14, 2026The next step in diagnosis and treatment
The long-awaited moment has arrived cerebrospinal fluid test results. They did not confirm neuroborreliosis, which is very important and reassuring information for the whole family. The results indicate Lyme disease present in the body, without involvement of the central nervous system. Further treatment will be carried out under the supervision of the infectious diseases clinic. where the appropriate therapy will be selected and the next stages of treatment in this direction will be planned.

Everyday life filled with fear
The headaches, although brief, were so severe that they could completely disrupt her day. They were accompanied by stomach and leg joint pain, which increased rapidly and without warning. When they first appeared in May 2024, there was no indication of how quickly they would change Paulinka's life.
The blood count results revealed a picture that immediately alarmed the doctors. The platelet count had risen to one million seven hundred thousand.
The girl was taken to a hospital in Wałbrzych, where the abnormalities were confirmed and she was referred to Przylądek Nadziei (Cape of Hope) in Wrocław. There, the diagnostic process began, which continues to this day.
Bone marrow was collected, an MRI scan of the head was performed, morphological tests were carried out, and specialist consultations were held. The MRI scan revealed a narrowing of the right cerebral artery. In addition, the detection of Lyme disease meant that doctors had to rule out the possibility of it affecting the nervous system. Each test therefore raises further questions about the direction of further treatment.
"The hardest part is waiting. You want to know anything, just so you can move forward," says Mom.
Life between home and hospital
Paulinka remains under the constant care of a cardiologist, neurologist, and ophthalmologist. Every two weeks, blood tests are performed to monitor her platelet levels. She takes medication to reduce their production, but the symptoms return, as if the disease refuses to give up the space it has occupied.
She is most bothered by recurring, severe headaches and eye problems. The risk of bleeding means that teachers at school remain constantly alert, attentive to every gesture and movement that could signal that something is wrong.
The girl divides her time between home and hospital. Every trip and every return brings with it a tension that cannot be tamed by routine.
The family learns new caution
Her parents work, and her older sister tries to support Paulinka with her presence and tender normality. Fear is not spoken of directly at home, but it hangs in the air like a silent reminder of the fragility of these days. Everyday life is based on vigilance, observing reactions, controlling pain, and watching for any sign that might be significant. It is a time when the whole family is waiting for the results of bone marrow and cerebrospinal fluid tests, hoping that the answer will finally allow them to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I look at her differently than I used to. I check every grimace, every gesture, to see if she's in pain again," admits her mother.
Pauline apart from her illness
The world she loves remains unchanged on the other side of her illness. Painting, dancing, cycling, rollerblading, and her favorite artistic gymnastics remain close to her, like a promise of a time that will return. The family knows that for this return to be possible, help is needed that will allow them to react immediately, without painful waiting.
The funds raised will be used for specialist treatment, medical consultations, and ongoing treatment costs. This support gives Paulinka and her loved ones the strength to move forward, step by step, toward a more peaceful tomorrow.
In a world built on vigilance and waiting, Paulinka clings to small moments that have not yet been taken away. It is in these moments that she hides her desire to return to the colors and movement that the disease has tried to silence.
