Glad your doctor took you off HU for a few days, Were you taking a heavy dose of HU? In my opinion if sharp pains in your head happen again I would immediately contact my doctor again.
When I started taking HU in 2022 I had headaches and was very lightheaded. I have been taking 500 mg at different time schedules…daily, every other day, and now four days a week.. I have been off HU for three weeks, My headaches still happen but not quite as intense. I am about to start again at four days a week.
Best wishes, Eileen
