I when to to Hu in march too!!! i was on one 500 mg first, that did not work so they put it up to 1000mg and that did not too much so the put it up to 1500mg a day, i had not real side effect apart from be a bit more tired, which was a good thing as i was not sleeping to well before. i have just got back from the hemo today and my platelets have gone down from mid 800 to 291!!!!!! that is the lowest they have ever been!!!

Good luck with the HU, for me i pleased i was put on it. i was not at first and i did worry about it lots, but now i see it was the best move for me
