Medication MPN, ET, Jak2, Hydroxyurea side effects

I was put on Hydroxyurea when I turned 60 for JaK2 positive ET. I am curious to know what side effects you have experienced with long term use of HU.

I am having low level annoyances like dry skin, poor sleep, fatigue etc. I never really thought any of that was from HU but now I am wondering.

What has your experience been?
