Thank you for better understanding of the hot flashes as I thought these were side effects of the Hydroxyurea. Interesting.

My hemo said that my fatigue, ocular migraines, hot flashes and sweats, and erythromelalgia were symptoms of ET. HU helped most of them in my case.

But effects of HU vary a lot from person to person, so not dismissing your idea that it also might cause hot flashes! Mayo has a list of documented side effects here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/hydroxyurea-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20068109
