@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.

@scienceteacher Well, that's good. As you probably know, both B12 and Folic Acid create new red cells. With my Hydroxyurea, they are the only thing that is keeping my red cells from disappearing entirely.
