@nohrt4me Yes, I think everyone responds differently to Hydrea. I take 500 mg daily. Since my platelets respond so well to it, I’m hoping the hematologist will reduce the dose, because I don’t want to keep taking steroids. I’m wary of taking Anagrelide due to a history of palpitations and PVCs, although I don’t have heart disease.

@lisanell Yes, I have a wonky mitral valve, and my cardiologist looked at HU vs anagrelide and said HU would be a better choice for me. I hope you can get some traction on this. There is besremi or pegasys, but those might be prohibitively expensive, depending on your insurance.
