Has Anyone Noticed Fingernails Turning Under And Some Nails Spooning?

I have been diagnosed ET JAK2 and on hydroxyurea for 10 mo.
Platelets 368. Some of my fingernails are turning under a bit and spooning…..iron and hemoglobin are good.

I had issues with my fingernails while on hydroxyurea -- they became discolored (blackish purple). That went away when I went off HU. I've always had fingernails that spoon, so no change there for me (either with the ET or with the HU).
