I thought so too at first, but my platelets have been climbing before 2021. It's genetic, or age. I popped my first pill today, with shaky hand. Believe me, this is hard to process.

Hi @debi342 Just checking in with you to see how things went yesterday with your first day of taking HU. I know the trepidation of taking a new med…flight or fight!
Now that the ominous first one is out of the way, hopefully you’ll feel a little more certain about the medication and the positive change it can make in your platelet level.

Do you feel you had any reaction to the HU such as being tired?
