@misty45 Thank you so very much for sharing your ET experience. My daughter ( age 39) was diagnosed with ET a few months ago- not JAK2 but CALR. She started Hydrea 1 pill - platelets went from 1.5 million to 900,000 added another 1/2 pill every other day - platelets down 800,000. Due to the long term use of Hydrea she changed to interferon. After 3 weeks on interferon her platelets are back to 1.2 million. Can you tell me how many Hydrea pills you take each day? I am thankful you are responding to the Hydrea and no symptoms.

@Susan Ellis I take 2 Hydrea a day every day. Up until recently it kept them between 350,000 and 400,000. Recently they have gone up with no changes in dosage. Had a bone marrow biopsy 2 days ago (no results yet) to see it there have been any changes in disease (ET) with JAK-2

I am talking 2 days 1000 and 1 day 500....
No side effects
