thank you for commenting.
I have to say that although hydroxyurea really did a number on me, horrible ulcers in my mouth and down my throat and the thinning of my hair and then the spontaneous teeth cracking if I put all of those unpleasantries aside it took my platelet count from 17 million down to 786. when I was diagnosed I had blood clots in my brain,my heart, both kidneys, my liver and my spleen. so I'm extremely grateful, truly I am. once they had my counts right that doctor left and I was sent somewhere new. I came to her prepared with all of my research and we landed on Jakafi. I tolerate it much better but the damage is already done. do you get migraines by chance. this is something new for me.
