Some people are just advised to take a low dose aspirin for protection against clots. Great you have a hematology appointment.

I am 78, had 621 platelets, and was recently diagnosed with ET JAK2…now taking 500 mg Hydroxyurea every other day. Since I am on a blood thinner for AFib I do not have to take a low dose aspirin.

Thank you for your response. I am also on a blood thinner so I assume that will help with clotting issues. Good to know!

I was recently diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia.
My platelets were up to 700,000.
I am taking hydroxyurea, 500 mg a day. Today was my 7 th day.
I became really sluggish today. Any advice on getting lethargic and napping ?
