@nohrt4me Thank you for your reply. Anagrelide has been discontinued I an aware of. One of the major side effects of Anagrelide is rapid heart beats and I have a mitral valve prolapse so I decline that choice. One thing I found that inhibits platelet aggregation is cloves and ginger, so I am making clove and ginger water and drinking daily. I am also going to donate platelets to the Red Cross which I found out I can do. Medication is something I have always been completely against and as I stated. I put my trust completely in the most high for guidance and so far so good. Take care and be well!

@anahata1962 I have mitral valve prolapse also. My cardiologist rejected that as a good choice for me because of that.
Moot for you if you choose to take no meds, but anagrelide has not been discontinued. Some years ago there was a disruption in supplies of anagrelide, and some patients went on other therapies.
Michigan Red Cross will not use platelets from ET patients. Perhaps different in yr locale. If so it would temporarily bring down your platelet count.
