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?🤔

My Chiro Who’s Also A Functional Med Dr. And Renowned Worldwide For Both Said That SOP And Stem Cells Together Fix Blood Disorders, MPNs.
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

🌟Anyone familiar with this

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.😰

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.

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

My Husband Has Jak2 ET.COVID Question
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband has Jak2 ET. He’s currently sick w/COVID for 2nd time in a month. Took Paxlovid and symptoms got better. Now sick and positive again. Is ET considered an immunocompromised disorder? Seems regular docs don’t know a lot about ET.

Dear Debra,

Some doctors tend to minimise risks and use absolute terms. In absolute terms, someone with ET only and without treatment might not fit the bill of being immunocompromised if by… read more

Difficulty With Diagnosis
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

I am hoping someone can help. I am 37 years old, and had a bone biopsy a few months ago to see if a vertebral lesion was malignant. It came back negative for a metastasis, but showed myelofibrosis. I was referred to a hem/onc who does not think it's an MPN because of my age. I just did 23 and me DNA testing, and it came back positive for the JAK2 mutation. The hem/onc now wants to do a bone marrow biopsy, but I don't think it's necessary as I have all of the diagnostic criteria for Primary… read more

I was told by an MPN specialist that they can see everything they need to from a tube of blood. A biopsy confirms what they suspect from labs. Confirming gives them a better idea of what they're… read more
