For Graft-versus-host disease "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."

"It's brought my platelets right down, but lately my stomach has been killing me after I eat. Not sure if it's the Jakafi that's causing it."
