You’re in the right place. There is a lot of good information here. Many of us are living normal lives while taking our daily Hydrea dose with little or no side effects. I turned 70 this year and I’m still quite active. Fatigue is the biggest problem, but is that because I’m 70? It doesn’t stop me from playing ice hockey 3 times a week and finishing the inside of a cabin.
Work with your doctor, follow your numbers and be your best advocate! You got this.

Hello update, my platelet counts finally got to 340 from 1000 back in December, after my Hydrea was increased to 1000 a day. I hope it stays that way and wonder where I will go from here. I have my energy back, just retired at 65 yrs old from working 40 years for the federal government. Plan to travel, teach a little and enjoy life.
