I Would Like To Ask At What Level Can Platelets Get To For Treatment Other Than Aspirin Be Considered?
I have ET & latest platelet count was 1086.. my Haematologist has commenced me on Hydrea but this has made me feel so much worse with no response in platelet count, so i have stopped taking for now & will continue on aspirin & healthy lifestyle… ?!? 😊
I would start taking hydrea from 1,200,000. From that number on I would take hydrea and adjust the dose. Hydrea also prevents the disease from progressing
When I first started Hydrea .. which is quite recently in July … 1 x500g cap I did feel quite nauseous .. then I was recommended to take it at night time with a glass of milk before bed. This stopped the nausea and I find I tolerate it quite well now.
First blood test it hadn’t made any change to my platelets so Haem increased dose 2x 500g. Having next blood test tomorrow so🤞🏻🤞🏻
Keeping our stress levels down is important too I was told.
Are There Any Others Under The Age Of 60 (I Am 47) Who Have ET With JAK2 V617F, That Have High Platelets Around 800 And Only Taking Aspirin?
When Did You Start Taking Drugs To Decrease Platelets?
