Thank you . Doesn’t quite feel ‘well done ‘ ( yet) !!! Xx

[mhos61 in reply to Mostew]

The ‘well done’ was in relation to it being a particularly hard decision for you to make.👍xx

I am glad you have made a decision and are comfortable with it. Do be sure to check on the handling instructions for HU as there are some specifics to know.

Regarding supplements, you may actually have a hard time getting an accurate read from hematology. They are often not familiar with many supplements and how they interact. That is why I consult with a Integrative/Functional Medicine doc. Pharmacists are often more knowledgeable as well. Not sure what supplements you are thinking about, but you may actually find more interactions with aspirin than HU. Many anti-inflammatory supplements are also blood thinning. Fish oil is another supplement that potentiates aspirin, so caution is advised.

All the best. Do let us know how you get on.

Thanks .

Yes no use asking haematology!!

My Ayurvedic practitioner is investigating and asking advice from someone with more knowledge of HU.

I’ll double check with her about fish oil as I’ve been taking that..

No use being negative and will be determined to be grateful for the meds . I’ll need to really work on that . as we know there is no really good option available

I will let Consultant know what I’m taking

Hope you are doing ok Hunter

Best wishes
