I am 73 and have been on Hydroxyurea for 4 years no issues. My platelets were in normal range. It was last fall when I developed hyperthyroidism due to an unknown mold issue in my house that’s now been remedied. My platelets are still a tad above the normal range, Hydroxyurea is a very safe drug to take so don’t worry about it

Welcome to Connect, @hippymo52 Happy to see the HU is working well to keep your platelets in the normal range and no side effects!
It’s interesting to learn that your hyperthyroidism was due to mold toxicity from your house! How was the correlation discovered? Has your thyroid function returned to normal?
