I Have Been On Hydroxyurea 500mg For ET, 5 Days A Week For Over 9 Months. Recently Started Having Dry Mouth Issues. Anyone Else Have This?

A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

My dentist made suggestions, special tooth paste, lots of water and gum or lemon drop type candy. See my cancer Dr. in November. I also feel like my hair is thinning out. So just wondering if anyone has these issues, what can you do about it. Any thoughts on other meds that wouldn't cause these issues.

Yes, I experience this mostly when I awake from sleeping. I am on Besremi for PV and other pain reduction prescriptions for a serious foot issue. Will be seeing my Pain management team this week so will check on dry mouth as a side effect of anything I am taking.
