My platelets recently went up to over 1200 due to a drug trial I was on. They took me off of that and increased my hydria which I have been on since 2021 to four pills a day, from 2. The side effects I've had from hydrea before this taking a thousand milligrams a day was my taste buds. I've gotten to the point where nothing taste good and it's hard to eat resulting in weight loss. My doctor says that Hydra will work to lower platelets. It's only been a couple of weeks so we'll see what happens.
I'm having severe symptoms of the higher platelets, dizziness, double vision, arm and leg weakness, numbness in lips and tongue. Very scary.
