How long can you take HU??
Since then, I have maintained with aspirin and
phlebotomy
( only about once a year). Just had my hem appointment and my platelets and white count have been creeping up over time and my dr is talking about HU. How long can you take HU? How long have you been taking it??

PV and burning Feet
He was advised
phlebotomy
and aspirin which continues todate. However his WBC seems to be rising slowly and it is today at 18,000. Many doc’s have suggested HU which I do not agree for at this stage.

After esophagectomy no longer storing iron from hemochromatosis, 6 years now.
My last
phlebotomy
was June 2013, since my esophagectomy I no longer store iron, in fact I am borderline anemic. Has anyone else had this issue, does this seem normal and why the change as it is genetic and is never supposed to go away??

Blood work with a possible change in doctor's
Prior doctor allowed
phlebotomy
when HCT was at 44.6. My last
phlebotomy
was done in January and the one before that was in October. Before that I was getting them on the average of every 6 to 8 weeks.

Hydroxyurea
My treatment so far has been
phlebotomy
and daily aspirin. After 4 treatments my platelets have risen from 506 to 526. Hemocrits are at .46 lymphocytes 1.2. Leukocytes are rising. I have a new doctor now and she wants me to go on hydroxurea. I am wondering if it is too soon.

Is Pegasys controlling your hematocrit?
Hi folks, first time posting here. If you have PV and are using or have used Pegasys in the past I'd really like to hear how it worked to control your hemoglobin and hematocrit. I've been taking it for a year now and although it has substantially lowered my WBC (almost too low) and platelets, it has

Two side effects from Pegasys

First experiences with Pegasys for Polythycemia Vera
I've had PV for about 10 years, managing it with phlebotomies and aspirin but I've been eager to try Pegasys and avoid HU. HU is a really old, pharmacokinetically poorly characterised drug which causes DNA damage (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5126785/, https://www.researchgate.net

Hydroxyurea or not?
My treatments have been aspirin and
phlebotomy
every eight weeks if hematocrit is above 42 which it always is. Symptoms began about 2 years ago: heavy painful legs with bone pain and tingling feet, some fatigue, brain fog and frequent shortness of breath.

I’ve had Polycythemia Vera for 10 years. Dr. suspects it is turning into Myleofibrosis
Good morning. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago with Polycythemia Vera. I am Jak2 positive. I was prescribed hydroxyurea and one low-dose aspirin a day. I also had phlebotomies when my hematocrit was over 42. Recently my hematologist felt like my polycythemia vera May be changing into Myleofibrosis.
