Hi @judgerg. You’re quite the inspiration for anyone newly diagnosed with ET and prescribed Hydroxyurea, such as @mfeley. It’s very encouraging that you’ve been using HU for 11 years with limited side effects.
Life with ET certainly hasn’t slowed you down with having a horse ranch in Colorado. That’s a full time labor of love! But how rewarding and what a beautiful environment! Nature is healing! Thank you for sharing your story with us!
Do you take your HU in the morning or evening?

I take it in the evening because it may make me a little nauseous but not enough to wake me up.

Thank you, Lori and @judgerg! I had my first dose (500mg 7 days a week until labs say otherwise) last night and so far so good. My doctor is very encouraging that I should have good response to hydrea and I’m going to go with that and think positive. Margy
