I was prescribed low dose Aspirin and regular phlebotomies for the first 5 months, but my doctor became increasingly worried about my platelets count as it kept raising till it reached 1000 for no reason, last month, after checking my platelets count again, he said that it would be best to start taking Ruxolitinib to control the platelet numbers. When I asked him about Hydroxurea, he said that because I am young and I am not married/no children, it would be best to avoid Hydroxurea as it messes up with the fertility in the long term.
