I take 500 mg. of hydroxyurea once a day. Had a blood draw yesterday but I have not yet received the results. I started off with 1 million blood platelet count and after a few months my blood platelet count made its way to 450,000 which is high average. I had a blood draw yesterday but I am not aware of the results at this time.

The one symptom I have that causes me the most discomfort happens to be my legs that ache all the time. Tylenol 500 mg. helps a bit.

Hydroxyurea had me drowsy all day long because I took it in the morning. Now, I take the hydroxyurea around 9 p.m. and the drowsiness during the day dropped dramatically.

So pleased you joined this group.
