Hepatitis A Ab positive due to interferon? Should I concern it and how to treat it?
I started
hydroxyurea
in March 2021, and stopped almost after 6 months than switched to interferon. My platelets number dropped from initial 950+ to ~275 recently. Any medication or treatment which can mitigate the liver damage due to interferon?

Risks in taking and not taking aspirin with hydroxyruea, especially when older
I have been taking
hydroxyurea
since Nov 2020 when diagnosed with Essential thrombocytosis, my platlets are contained at 433 . I started to take coated aspirin 81mg with the hydroxyuria but had to stop due to severe stomach acid.

Raising Awareness for Polycythemia Vera is Key in Increasing Overall Survival
We also looked at
hydroxyurea
, and these are the most common first-line cytoreductive treatments, and compared that to phlebotomy only. It did look like the interferon treated patients had an overall survival that was very similar to the matched general population.

HYDROXYUREA ET
Just diagnosed with thrombocythemia on 500 mg
hydroxyurea
for just about 3 wks plus aspirin. Platelets @ 818 potassium high at 6. A lot to digest. How long will it take to bring platelets within normal? Will I ever get my energy back?

Bone pain and chills
I was taking Fedratinib and
hydroxyurea
for a while but my doctor took me off of the Fedratinib in October. Last night I had the strangest experience. I went to sleep at my normal time but I was woken up at about 1:30 AM by extreme pain in my legs and my arms.

New here, question on blood pressure, fatigue
Added to that was
hydroxyurea
by the hematologist (so now I rattle!), and then Jakafi in its place (as my PV had caused horrible skin itching for many months). Jakafi has been a wonder drug for me!

Do PV patients need a fourth Covid vaccine?
I have PV and am on
hydroxyurea
. I'm very confused - and not getting clear guidance from my hematologist. Should PV patients go for a fourth shot? If so, should that be a fourth primary vaccine or a booster shot?

How do you afford Jakefi chemo? My insurance only pays for half of it.
My Hematologist wants to put me on this instead of
hydroxyurea
. My insurance only pays for half the cost of the drug. How do you afford it?

Osteoporosis

hydroxyurea
for 5 years and just been told that I’m at high risk for fractures because of a big change in my osteoporosis due to the

Covid immune response on hydroxyurea
Hi everyone, From this list, I learned that PV patients on
hydroxyurea
should consider themselves as immune compromised and should have a third and possibly a fourth Covid shot.

ET questions for my 16 year old daughter
She is on 81mg aspirin daily and one Dr. initially wanted to put her on
hydroxyurea
and we declined and sought a second opinion which recommended aspirin only. She has a lot of neck and back pain and tired frequently. Is this normal? Does this condition also affect the RH FACTOR?
