20/M, I am quite young so naturally I was surprised that I needed to take HYDROXYUREA after the doctor explained it to me. It is to target my polycythemia vera and other concerns . So after my first dosage of 2 pills of HYDROXYUREA 500mg today I started to feel the side effects and searched up reddit. I stumbed upon some of stories on this thread/community post that HORRIFY ME like the common mouth ulcers, brittle nails, joint pain, neck pain, frequent nausea, hair thinning and many more. I may not be an active person but recently I've been more active after my psoriasis treatment (not related to the polycythemia) which makes me happy and confident. All I'm trying to ask is, does it get better later on taking this for a while? Since I don't want to go back to having to pre psoriasis treatment me and can't actively go outside again, does it get better?
