I went for a blood draw yesterday. Platelets were down from 918 to 875. I haven't heard from dr yet to see if he is going to raise it 50 or not. When is your appointment?

I have been on hydroxyurea since July.
My white blood count has never been below 11 and recently was 13.
So it has not been consistent. After my first injection of Besremi of 50 mcg a couple of weeks ago, it went down to 9, which is the first time it has been in the normal range since I was diagnosed with pv in March. They have never prescribed Besremi before at my hematology clinic, so I am sort of a trailblazer. I am sure they are going to keep me under very close observation. I thank God for each step that was necessary to get me to this point.
