Yes, buy-in from your Hemo is always best..........but I sure hope it works. Besides surely the cranberry juice can't hurt. Can it?? Good luck and let us know.

I figure since he's prescribing the hydroxyurea, he should have some say in whether or not I want to replace it with the cranberry juice. But, as for whether it might hurt anything, I've checked it out very thoroughly and I know that it will not raise my platelet count or lower it so much I'd be in danger of essential thrombocytopenia. I also know it won't change my A1C by any significant amount and it will actually aid my kidneys. So, it's about as safe as it can get.

Sure better than drinking beer all day. 🙂
