I had a heart attack whilst on it- I had breathlessness, chest pain and palpitations- all of which I mentioned WEEKLY to my consultant. She told me not to worry!!!!! I don’t have her as my consultant now!

It’s disheartening when people that provide healthcare don’t listen well. Too dismissive. In my area, you wonder about the pressure placed on employees to perform their job and make money for the company. Sometimes i feel like a number instead of a person

I also used anagrelide for years. It has a cardiovascular impact, so be careful with the dose. I was fine with 2 mg per day. 3 mg was trickier.

Anegrelide kept my platelets at normal for 20+ years
