In June 2022 I was put on 500 mg Hydroxyurea every day. I started with headaches, dizziness, and a first ever vertigo attack. Hematologist took me off HU for a time and then put me back on 500 mg every other day. I did get down to 434. Eventually I had another break, now 500 mg only three days a week and headaches are less. Platelets are at 534 so next test will show how three days a week is working, All other labs are good.

By the way, my hematologist first said my goal was 450 or less and now she just said she would like me to get to below 400.

Good luck with your journey, Eileen
