Welcome @jacquelineh. You are not alone. If you use the Search bar at the top of any page, you can search for discussions about essential thrombocytosis and for hydroxyrea.

Have you started treatment? How are you doing?

Thank you Colleen. I’m doing well enough I guess. Platelets seem slow to drop but they are going down slowly. Hopefully will be under 900 next week.
Headaches still happen but less often and less severe. Brain fog/ disorientation is still concerning to me but again, seems to be happening less often and is less frightening. Fatigue comes and goes.
I’m not sure what is due to the Hydroxy and what is due to the high platelet count.
