I have not posted for a long time. There is not much to say. I am pleased to report that as of today my blood counts are all within normal range and I feel well. I have been taking HU since early March. At first I had a bit of fatigue. Now, none. I did not want to take this drug but after having a blood clot in my leg this past February, it does seem advisable.

I try to control as many factors as I can with this disease such as diet, exercise, being careful in the sun, etc. and then just taking each day at a time. Honestly, if it not for the medication I take for this disease along with other health conditions I would not know I was ill!

One blood draw at a time... hope this continues.

Delighted for you.

I have been on hydrea for 6 years, complete haemotolgical response ever since, no increase in hydrea either during this time. I do get some fatigue, but is that the ET or hydrea or a combination of both, who knows?

Good luck going forward.
