At the end of the day it has to be your choice whether or not you take HU but will just let you know that I've been on HU for 2 years and would do it all again, no side effects and feeling so much better. The thought of starting on meds is scary but talk it through with your doctor and I'm sure you'll work out what's best for you.
Best wishes, let us know how you get on.
