Anyone else find the side effects of Hydrea 500MG frightening?

I have had ET for 8 years but did not go over 1000 till this year. I am on Hydrea since Feb 1000mg per day. I don't have any severe side effects so far but do have joint pain. But I have been on cancer treatment before this which means I havnt been very active so maybe now that I am working in the garden again my joints are protesting! Always difficult to decide what causes what!

@mjervis Before I started taking Hydroxyurea I hardly ever got colds or got sick. But this year I got 2 colds and I got and I got RSV. I go to the fitness center 7 days a week and exercise and use the weight machine. For my ET my doctor has me taking Hydrea as follows Monday, Wednesday and Friday I take 2 Hydrea and the rest of the days I take 1 Hydrea 500 mg a day. So for they went down I go every 3 months to get tested. Good luck with ET and stay active.
