I had a change of my vision while on Hydrea. I went to my eye dr and my cornea was swollen. He asked me had there been a change in my meds. I told him about the Hydrea. He immediately asked did I have really dry skin or sores in my mouth. My answer was yes. I immediately contacted by hematologist and he discontinued it and put me on Angralide. I could not take that either. I am now on Besrimi injections every two weeks. Doing good so far.

PV can cause occasional blurred vision. My eye doctor said we are prone to clots so we need to check behind the eyes and we can have retina issues from the excess red blood cells. Dry skin and tender gums can be from the meds but dry skin can be more from blood cancer diseases I believe. Good luck and I hope this third medication works for you!
