Sounds like your doctors are doing all the right things. At the beginning I also had frequent blood tests to see if HU was doing the job. I also take a baby aspirin. Finally after many ups and downs, I'm on 1,000mg HU and baby aspirin. First year was toughest, my gut didn't like HU, but now it got use to it. My platelets are in normal range and holding.

Glad to hear that your platelets are within the normal range. I forgot to mention that I also take the 81 mg aspirin....it was prescribed after I had the stroke (in fact when in hospital I was on heparin, but that was stopped when I left.)
