I think the NIH or NLM had a report on the shingrix and platelets, it's been a few years so I no longer have reference

Thank you for that info.
I just did a brief search and found several articles that related to Shingex causing too-low platelet counts in people who do not have ET. For us with ET, a reduced platelet count is probably not a bad thing. I'm now wondering if I can thank my first shingrex shot for my reduced count that otherwise would have probably gone up to the dreaded number 600k.
I'm thankful I can get my eye surgeries done before I have to go on HU, presuming I will at some point. I'm one of those people who are peculiar about doing more than one new thing to my body at a time! LOL
