@scienceteacher Has your hematologist recommended taking Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid? Mine put me on these two B vitamins from the start, to compensate for the low red blood cells. So, I have been taking B12 and Folic Acid daily for 12 years. If it's helping, it's only to keep my red blood cells from disappearing altogether!

@garyr443 When my platelets went through the roof while in a rehab facility after a broken hip and ankle they started me on both. This was prior to the diagnosis of ET. That was a bit over a year ago.
I'm probably in the same boat as you with continuing RBC cell supression.
