Thinning hair is the least of your problems. If that’s all you’re complaining about, you’ve got nothing to complain about. Be thankful the HU is doing its job, and that is to keep your platelet count manageable and prevent a clot forming stroke or worse. Don’t let your vanity cloud your unrelenting battle against the dozens of blood born cancers. Think baseball hats and the like.

It isn't vanity to worry that a disease or med will drastically change your appearance. People sometimes just want to know what to expect. And I don't know anyone who takes HU who has had to resort to ball caps.
