@1pearl Yep, you've definitely confirmed it. We differ quite a bit. After my experiment with cranberry juice last month, I've left everything in a mess, but I went back to the Hydroxyurea, so now my platelets "should" be coming back down. My red cells, which had gone up, but not enough to make it to normal, will be back to low again, because of the Hydroxyurea, and my white cells will probably still be high. But, I'm just guessing until I have my next CB Diff test the first Friday of August. Meanwhile, I'm still too vain to wear a hat, don't use sunblock (but I do use a bit of Aloe Vera gel). Still eating a paleo diet, mostly meat, which keeps my weight in the 150s and keeps diabetes away, but according to a former doctor (she had them tell me she'd quit her practice, but I think I just frustrated her too much), that puts too much stress on my kidneys (never mind that I still have no symptoms of kidney disease after 17 years, which is how long four doctors have told me I have kidney disease). I see doctor number five in August and I don't know what she'll tell me, yet. According to doc #4, I'm "wavering between 3A and 3B," two years after she congratulated me for dropping back to stage 2 from 3A without me having done anything different. Now, without having done anything different, I'm supposedly worse off! Never mind that my pee is as normal as can be.
