I started taking Hydrea and had no side effects for 6 months. In 6 months I had very dry skin, sores in my mouth and vision changes. I went to my eye doctor and he said my cornea was swollen. When I left the eye doctor I called my hematologist and he took me off and started me on angralide. I could not take that either. He then put me on Eliquis to thin my blood but knew it would not help with my platelets. I was on that for 3 months and my platelets went to over a million. Now I am on the Besrimi injections and so far things are going good. Platelets are slowing coming down.

I hope you tolerate the hydrea and have no side effects. I was only telling you my experience. Wishing you the best
