High platelets for 18months but still not able to identify the cause.Now going to have bone marrow biopsy, I'm just wondering if this is unnecessary pain or could this possibly show the cause.
The symptoms you are indicating are all related to the MPN condition. I don’t think they know the exact cause but there are medications that might help
Hate to bring up perhaps a touchy subject, but has anyone out there had experience with cannabis as a treatment for chemo side effects or even for MPN symptoms? Since I live in Maryland there is no longer legal issues, no particular stigma since majority of voters gave a go ahead on legalizing the product. For obvious reason, there is little to no hard data on this issue. Need to know what anecdotal info there is.

When you were diagnosed with a myeloproliferative neoplasm, did your hematologist/oncologist recommend a thrombophilia profile (pathogenic mutations for factor II, factor V, factor XIII, MTHFR, PAI-1 4G/4G or 4G/5G, etc.)

I also was only tested for JKAK2 mutation. That's a good idea to have further genetic tests as it will guide current and future therapies.
I have terrible joint pain. In my hips ,knees wrists and fingers. It hurts a lot at night. I’ve read that MPN’s can cause inflammation but how would you know if it’s from the mpn or arthritis?
no one seems to know! although, MPNs are known for their inflammatory effects. to me, it’s just one big ball of wax. i hurt like crazy at times!

I was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocytosis in May 2022
After speaking to my VA Doctor and Oncology Hematologist, I went on to a Veteran health site and found that the indicator (platelet counts near 800) had been ignored for over 10 years by multiple VA doctors only interested in my urinalysis results, obviously ignoring my blood counts
Anyhow, we filed a Malpractice/Failure to Diagnose suit against the Veterans Administration, and did just today receive a settlement which was merely a… read more
