Are Others With Well-managed ET Considering Getting A Covid Booster Shot This Fall?
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

I had two Pfizer vaccine shots in the spring of 2021, a booster in Nov. of 2021 - and then actually had a very mild case of Covid this past summer (2022).

How Many Of You Have Experienced Complications Or Prolonged Pain In Weeks Post Bone Marrow Biopsy?
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

The reason I am curious is the fact that my bmb procedure was the smoothest of the two that I have had. The first one resulted in my being hospitalized for a week with sepsis and the search for beginning osteomyelitis. Therefore, I was uncomfortable with the thought of having another one, now 4-1/2 years later. As I said, I had the procedure on 7/25/23, felt good other than minor soreness for a couple of days. Then, about a week ago, I suddenly began to have rather severe pain in the upper iliac… read more

How Long Does Hydroxyurea Take To Reduce Blood Counts
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

I have PV, having fortnightly phlebotomy's and are taking 1000mg hydroxyurea daily. I have been taking HU for 3 weeks now, but my hematocrit levels are still at 61%. How long would you expect it to take to start decreasing your levels? I guess it is a bit of an open ended question, but what have others experienced out there, to give me an idea. Much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your experience Janice! I learned a lot and agree with you
