My very active 82 year old father just got diagnosed with JAK2 positive, high white count and myeloproliferate disorder. He will start taking Hydrea 500mg 3 times a week. Is there anything is should look out for? Anyone with some good advice on these disorders would be very appreciated. Thank you

I'm a very active 83 year old female JAK2 positive, essential thrombocythemia, on Hydrea 500 mg, 7 days per week. In addition I have pulmonary arterial hypertension and take several strong meds for that. The only side effect I noticed from Hydrea is fatigue so I just have to pace myself and get plenty of rest.
