Doing very well, thanks for asking, and the info. If I had to guess, itching ranks a close second to fatigue as a nasty side effect of many of the MPN medications. I had never been bothered with it until I began to switch medications, but then I quickly made up for lost time. I think Aveeno should be stamped on the forehead of every Hematologist in the world.

Colleen, fatigue and itching are nasty symptoms of PV, period. I am miserable due to fatigue and itching even though I do not take any MPN specific meds.

Aveeno body wash for itchy skin and Aveeno cream are mainstays in my life.

By the way: I've been storing my Aveeno cream in the refrigerator. I imagine the cold product helps decrease itching. But "imagine" may be the operative word here.
