Is There A Way, A Test, Blood Test, Etc. To Find Out When We Actually Acquired Our MPN, And/or When It Activated Itself?
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

Many of us myself included have said we noticed changes in our bodies and self and symptoms long before we were actually diagnosed.

This bothers me bc I want and need to know, as do we all.

It’s wrong to go by the date we were diagnosed.

Anyone? Thoughts?🤔

Besides Having Experience With Blood Disorders How Will A MPN Specialist Help Me? Will They Also Know The Correct Diet, Supplements?
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

How often do I see them? I’ve read some ppl just see an MPN Specialist and stop seeing a Hema.

Should I see both? My Hema doesn’t put forth much effort or time it seems, like a lot of Western Med. Dr’s.

I think Patient Power is being our own best, fiercest, tenacious advocate, doing our own research despite what a Dr. may tell us, etc.

Is Anyone Else Participating In The Study Being Done By Dr. Angela Fleischman Out Of UC Irvine About Nutrition Or Familial MPNs?
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

Dr. Fleischman is looking for families with multiple cases of MPN's and/or an MPN and other cancers. She is hoping to have some family members participate who do not have an MPN - or another type of cancer - and also have family members who have say skin or other cancer but not an MPN. She will send you everything you need to participate. All you have to do to is give the vial to someone doing your next blood draw so you can send them a blood sample in the all postage paid envelope and submit… read more

All These Rx’s For Our Issues In Here And My ET Seem To Have Bad Side Effects. Makes Sense As They’re Rx But Still, Some Gotta Be Better.
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

What has least side effects?
I heard Pegasus Interferon but Googled that and it has some bad side effects also.

What about Jakifi? The others?

I’m stressed out as I already have big anxiety about taking meds and Rx.

But I (like all of us) will have to take something at some point.
I’m reading those who wait to treat with Rx generally end up with worsened progressed condition(s).

Seems it’s a game of Russian Rouette whether you take it or not.😰

We are in control to choose our poison. I prefer to do my research, shop around, identify experts with whom I agree, and give it a try

Can New Symptoms Mean My ET Is Progressing? My Platelets In November Were Almost 900,000
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

I received my diagnosis with no symptoms on Nov 30 2023, recently in the last 2 weeks I have had extreme fatigue at 6:30 at night and I weird burning tingling feeling under my skin. Does this mean it is processing? Should I call my doctor?

A myMPNteam Member

I believe every 3 or 4 months, even by telemed, and cbc/cmp labs monthly would be better monitoring.
