I found out I have hypothyroidism, I had a hysterectomy in November. It is not as bad as last year, but continues to happen. Was hoping someone can provide some guideance.
Regarding thyroid: I've been treated for Hashimoto's thyroiditis for 40 years. 100 mcg of Synthroid has kept my thyroid level normal, ever since the correct dosage was found. Also: Does… read more
Yes, I definitely have memory issues!! I'm afraid it's from the ET itself or the HU. I feel so self-conscious when I'm talking to someone + I forget a word or 2, or even forget what I'm talking… read more
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
You are the boss
I have been taking HU for PV for past 3 yrs. Lately my WBC and platelets have been increasing despite that. Does anyone know if supplementing with Vitamin D or C can help?
How high is too high of a Vit D count?
What can happen if it’s too high?
How often should we check our Vit D count if we get blood every 3mo? Like every 6mo check?
I have been taking a Super B complex for probably 10 years, also a women's multi vitamin the past couple of years, with my doctors knowledge and no restrictions.
My platelets have been stable for… read more

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.
My Hema said I could do it in their office. I’ve heard it can cause iron deficiency, anemia, loss of nutrients.
But it’s gotta be less toxic than an Rx, right? Seems all options have pros and cons? Some better and worse than others.
Thought this could be a good place to start for if and when I’m told baby aspirin isn’t enough.
New to all this mess and just started baby aspirin Jan. 31 but don’t even want to be on that.

Forgot to include the 20 year longevity study. The Anagrelide < HU study was separate from the phleb + aspirin < HU < interferon study.
🌟Anyone familiar with this
Says it’s a revolutionary specialized treatment for chronic infections, cancer, blood disorders, vitality, longevity, etc.
Apparently, many ppl do this worldwide for multiple reasons.
Reports say no known reported side effects and safe for all ages.
🌟I’m quoted it’s about $8,000 total, told the stem cells last for your life and they’re from umbilical cord blood with NO DNA from healthy babies and mothers
Said they’re tested to be safe and thankfully non- Covid… read more
