@nohrt4me Yes, I know all about the Hydroxyurea. As I've said, I've been using it, under my hematologist's supervision, for 12 years. If you read what I said about it, you would know it's Hydroxyurea's side-effect of destroying some of my red blood cells that is the problem, as well as the reason why I'll be replacing the Hydroxyurea with unsweetened cranberry juice in June. If this is successful in controlling my platelet count, I will continue the use of the cranberry juice indefinitely.
