My platelet count has increased after a year on Hydroxyurea (HU)

Boy I wish my PLT count was below 400, which for over 5 years it has not even been close even with taking HU for PV, now 1000mg a day for over a year and 500mg starting 2.5 years ago. It fluctuates but at least no discernible side effects.

One year ago, mine was close to 900. With 1000 mg a day it gradually went down to 380. Never went up until last week when it went to 440. Surprised me as I was not aware of those fluctuations. This forum has helped me to not worry too much.
I would like if my hematologist would agree to cut my HU to 500 mg a day but he does not recommend it for now.
All the best to you! Thanks for your reply.
