Welcome ortho3,

Have you had a bone marrow biopsy? Are you diagnosed with ET or PV?

I my opinion 1,000 mg daily is a pretty heavy starting dose of Hydroxyurea (HU). Can you ask your doctor about possibly going down to starting dose of 500 mg?

My side effect at 500 mg daily have been headaches.

Waiting for approval for biopsy. Diagnosed with ET by bloodwork. My message to the oncologist was about lowering the dose - still waiting!!
