Had been on Hydroxyurea combined with pegasysThen 3 months ago after 33 to 90 to 135 I was upped to 180 1x per week. Hu was discontinued. Now latest platlet count are climbing back up, lowest they got 575, 2weeks later 755. LT, AST, ALT numbers spiked as well. Injection Have caused pain in my side. At first just when I did injections now all the time

Dr has taken me off Pegasys immediately put me back on Hu, only 500mg until Jakavi, is approved. Last time on Hu only platlet 1.99 million.

Concerned that the kidneys and liver will need to recover.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you in advance
