Thanks so much for the info Lynn! 20 years is a long time. I have just been on hydroxyurea for almost 3 months with 1000 mg per day. The counts now come down to low 500 now which I already appreciate while my doctor want to see it to stabilize at low 400. Just want to share. Have experienced some side effects (sensitive and itchy skin at the joints, fatigue, long recovery time, maybe some depression). I was very active outdoors doing cycling and hiking. Now I have learned to mend and adjust with reduced activities. I am in San Diego CA and will appreciate any resources info.
I am interested in resources for ET. I am newly diagnosed with ET and PV. All info is appreciated.
