@hudson2019, I'm tagging @mamsgirl1998 to make sure she sees your question, asking for an update on her platelet counts 6 months later. @mamsgirl1998, how are you doing?

@colleenyoung hello, I’m sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I had been sick with a sinus cold. my platelet counts have pretty much been trending in the 400,000s. I will attach a years worth of my blood counts so you can see them. I hope this will be helpful to you. Otherwise I’m feeling fine. I’m not having any side effects from the Hydrea. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Gosh, I wish my Platelet count was in the 400 range. It's now lowered to the 600 range which is the lowest since I was told I have PV in 1/2020. It got up to 2,057,000 before starting with Hydrea 500 mg in 8/2022, now at 3 a day.
