Jakafi (ruxolitinib) "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 Jakavi 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."
