@swalex
Thank you for the valuable info on the types of ET and what to expect. I was diagnosed in 2014 and have been on Droxia and aspirin since 2015. My platelets fluctuate quite a bit and we cannot find the reason for the inconsistency. (Ranges from 500+ to 800.) Medication has been increased to 800 mg daily, and numbers still are in the 6-700 range. If you have any suggestion as to a resource for fluctuating platelet counts for someone with ET and JAK2 mutation, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you kindly,
Mary
