That’s so encouraging!! I am hoping getting my platelets back to normal will help with the fatigue and that HU doesn’t give me fatigue. The fatigue is what started this journey for me.

My beginning was a visit to the ER for heart palpitations which turned out to be nothing according to the cardiologist (possibly a symptom of ET?). It was there I was given a CBC and it showed the high platelets. For some reason my doctors have neglected to give me a CBC over the years as my last one was in 2015. I guess I didn’t know people got them along with other annual bloodwork or I would have questioned them about why the test wasn’t ordered.
Think positive!
