Good morning.....I stopped taking Hydrea for all 3 of my covid vaccines, as my doctor recommended but I ended up in the hospital for a week with severe dehydration . I am booked next week to have my fourth and I have not stopped the Hydrea as others on the forum did not stop and had no side effects did your doctor say to stop meds in order to take the vaccine. It is difficult to get any straight answers here from my new hemotologist.
I have been on Hydrea for four years and do have hip to ankle pain off and on but mine is due to sciatic nerve pain. I do have periodic itchiness on skin and scalp, also fatigue. Overall I think I am better for taking Hydrea than not. You may find that your side effects will change from time to time and you may feel stronger sometimes. Good luck and do not hesitate to reach out again
