Hello, Annette! With ET, way too much of our energy is mis-directed towards platelet production. It's hard to do anything when you are so tired.

Many of us have sensitivity to cold. I've learned to wear extra layers of clothing, taking special care to keep my chest (heart) warm.

It's believed that ET's headaches come from our too-thick, platelet-heavy blood trying to pass through the tiny vessels in our heads. The headaches can be awful.

With your platelet count down to 385, you are doing great! I hope that you -- like me -- will have relief from ET's exhaustion and headaches as HU continues to work for you.

ET's tough. Please be kind to yourself.
