@mjfp49 My O/H told me to take HU twice a day. He didn't specify when, and I take one 500 mg capsule with breakfast and one with dinner. Seems to work for me - I was diagnosed in October, 2023 and HU brought my platelets down from 792 to right around 200 very quickly - and I've been stable since then.

Thanks...I'm thinking splitting the dose might be more helpful.

@debhammel
That's such good news that your treatment is working so well! Thanks for sharing.
How are your red and white blood cell counts, and have you had any neuropathy?
