Well Holly, that is good news, I take Hydroxy seven days a week one per day and two Sat and Sunday, amazing how quickly my readings went back to normal and my last visit my Haemotologist was really pleased with me, really gives you a new perspective and just how good this drug is.

I also found that I used to get the munchies for things that I did not normally eat like you chocolate and crisps very strange but it has now past and I eat a good balanced diet, and drink plenty of water, so do not feel guilty, just look forward to Christmas and enjoy.

Pleased you're pleased! 😄 I found it very difficult to lose weight while on Hydroxycarbamide, now on Anagrelide and finding it even harder!! I go to Slimming World, if I didn't I'd put all the weight I have worked hard to lose back on! Often get the munchies (but that's not entirely new!!) Keep well.
