"Taking Jakafi for 1 year 3 months, working well with no side effects. Take 5 mg daily. I take it for GvHD of the skin, and it has done a great job controlling it. I have had no flare-ups."

"So far, it seems to be working. If I forget to take it, I get a definite onset of itchy skin with a very marked response and regular and multiple bowel movements in the mornings. I am not sure if it is Jakafi related, but I had a stroke. I have found that my blood levels definitely stabilized and GvHD skin flares reduced quickly too. I do have regular and severe cramps in the calf in the mornings."
