@preacherswife1977,
I have been on 500 mg Hydroxyurea since June 2022. Because of side effects like headaches, diarrhea, lightheaded, etc. I have had time off, and then taking at different timelines. Platelets have been staying around 550 but my hematologist would like me to get below 400.
My timelines have been daily, month off, every other day, three days a week, and the last four days a week. Headaches suddenly became too much so I am stopping for a month, Then I will try Anagrelide at the lowest dose twice daily. Not sure yet what the lowest dose will be as waiting to get it, If Anagrelide does not work for me the next step will be Pegasys.
Best wishes, Eileen
