@lindakay55 I have ben on HU since September and at that time my hematocrit was 52. By November it was 44. Beginning of December it was45.1 then end of December it was 39.3. At my appointment just yesterday it was 40.5. It's crazy. Maybe dehydration plays a part, I'm not sure. All my other labs are within normal limits. My doctor says things are good and not to worry. Easier said than done.

@jeanette1954 Thank you. I guess this fluctuation is normal. At that time were you taking HU only 4x per week or once a day? My platelets are now at 339, but my Hgb this week is at 16 (highest was 16.7 and then 15.5 and now back at 16). My Hematocrit is at 49.2 this week (last week was 47.4 and in Dec was 50.5).
