Hello, cubby13! May I ask, what is your diagnosis?

I myself take Hydroxyurea (HU) for essential thrombocytosis (ET). Fatigue and light-headedness are symptoms of ET. As HU has reduced my platelet count, it has also relived these problems.

Being diagnosed with something you've probably never heard of, then learning you need to take a drug every day -- that's a big shock. I was totally overwhelmed for months after my diagnosis.

We know what you're going through. Just ask, and we will try our best to help.
