Have they told you to take Iron and B12 . I take both and some days are better than others. My white cells are normal red cells are low but platelets are 297 I take 500 HU daily and have been on it since May of this year. This website has helped a lot lots of info here the Doctor I see is not a lot of help. I have some spots breaking out think they might be previous sun damage. My oily hair is dryer but no hair loss . So far I have had minor things happen that I think the HU might have caused but they soon leave so no major issues. Good Luck I am 71

I should have said before that I was on baby aspirin at first. After a month of HU I had AFIB not sure why had a stress test and all was ok. My doctor put me on Eliquis so no more aspirin only Tylenol for pain. Have a blood draw today will see how that goes. Have a good day
