Hi Kelly, I too am Jak2 positive with PV diagnosed at 55 on Hydroxyurea now for two years almost. I am having terrible hot flashes but am in menopause also but was thinking it’s from that. I know PV can cause night sweats but mine are all day! I need to ask my oncologist about options. I was put in a low dose BP med that really lessened them but after a few months, I’m back to having them all the time. I get phlebotomies about every 8 weeks. Jakafi is the only other medication but is extremely expensive and I’m not sure it’ll be an option for me. I’m just waiting it out for now hoping it’s my hormones…
