I am new to this, so all I will do at this point is explain my case, and ask questions on what is working for others with PV, as to their diet; rights and wrongs.

I am 83 years old and I've had PV for about 12 years. I take 2 Hydroxyurea 4 days a week, and 3 of same 3 days per week. I also take Hydroxyzine, a histamine for the itching and occasional sleep aid. I use this very sparingly, as I'm not a very pill user. That said...it does work well. My Phlebotomies have decreased from a pint a month, to once every 2-3 months, but I do a CBC every moth to check the Hematocrit level.

I am wondering if there are any suggestions for diet; items I should and shouldn't eat.
