It's very expensive more expensive than xeljanz. I think tofacitinib and baricitinib have got a better chance of getting FDA approved. Hopefully soon too! But am not sure if anyone is trying this atm.

Absolutely,  Having to take Jakafi everyday would bankrupt most millionaires. 

I would recommend Xeljanz as a better option. It's still very expensive but no where near as much as 

Jakafi.

I am on it. I need to up my dose as I started at a lower dose (15mg twice daily) than the study (20mg twice daily). But immediately I saw results. My arms and legs have never had this much hair, and the growth is continuing. My scalp is taking longer. At first it was obvious, I was getting peach fuzz and growth, but I need to go up in dose as my scalp progress has become somewhat stagnant. I'll be going up from 30mg a day to 50mg next week and I will keep you informed. I definitely feel jakafi is superior, since taking xeljanz first. Although I do believe 15-20mg of xeljanz is the sweet spot and would probably yield similar results.

May I ask why you switched from xeljanz? If xeljanz wasn't working for you, had you tried increasing the dose? I have not gotten results from xeljanz yet, but my dosage was just increased. I'm wondering if your experience was similar. Good luck!!

I have been on it for a month now. Was lucky enough to have insurance (AmeriHealth) cover it + a copay assistance card. I have seen small white hair growth on scalp face and arms so far. I will keep you all posted.
