@nypara66 Same with me. I just have quarterly blood tests. My platelets stay between 450-500. I only take a baby aspirin as I am symptom free.

@panamsandy may I ask your age as I do not want to start on Hydroxyurea if I don’t have to? Right now I am taking baby aspirin with counts in the 500s

Hi @panamsandy ,
I do quarterly blood labs also and take low dose aspirin. I am fine with that and have no symptoms at all and never have had any, so I am not repeating all the other tests that have already been done on me. I do not have any high risk mutations and I know the bone marrow transplant specialist I saw one year ago told me that I do not fit into the categories they have. My not at all painful finger issue is an unusual case also that they have not figured out, even after five hand specialists’ different opinions.
