It actually is a guessing game lol Once your platelets stay where they like them, we can only hope they stay steady! Is that medication instead of Hydroxyurea? I hear that works well but can possibly have more serious side effects. Also, is it very expensive? I’m so grateful that Hydroxyurea is only $8 for 30 pills. Between the labs and phlebotomies, I reach my deductible pretty quickly and don’t have prescription coverage. I hope you do well and get good results, Good luck!

The Agrelide was about $130. It was on my 4th tier own my insurance. Should be about half of that once deductible is met. We had to go out of town Friday and Sunday so I took my first one Saturday afternoon around 4:15. 6 hours later I felt a little funny in my chest. I did not start taking it as prescribed until this morning. I took it around 6:30 and so far I am fine.
