Patients with symptomatic thrombocytosis (those experiencing pain or other symptoms) are able to feel great relief from a single dose of aspirin, so this does sound within the normal range of what you can expect with this treatment.
I wanted to make sure that your doctor prescribed this treatment for you, and that you are being medically evaluated? The bruising that you say you "don't care about" is actually something you should care about...bruising is your body's way of bleeding to heal itself, and if you are "easily bruising" and have the diagnosis of thrombocytosis, you need to make sure you are being monitored by your doctor.
Since you have had this diagnosis since you were a child, can you tell us more about what you already know about this condition, and if you are regularly seeing your doctor? Did your doctor prescribe aspirin therapy or other treatments?

Here is an article (2007) regarding Monitoring aspirin treatment in patients with thrombocytosis that you may find helpful.
