@lehall125 I was wondering how old are you? People dont seem to give their ages out. I was just diagnosed with the same thing two weeks ago. I am 70. I am going to start to exercise more because I noticed I want to take a nap or I am seem to get tired around 4:00 pm and I want to fight this rare blood disorder any way I can.

Hello @stevie123
I am 74 yo. I have however stopped taking HU November 2025 because I lost too much hair, 2 teeth, and had constant joint and bone aches. I see a functional medicine therapist, an acupuncturist, and a chiropractor as well as take prescribed supplements to lower my platelet count. I also continue to work out and eat an anti-inflammatory diet. I will go in for a blood draw next week to see if this alternative treatment is working. Unfortunately, none of this non-pharmaceutical treatment is covered by my insurance, but my quality of life is much improved.
