PV getting attention
They included
phlebotomy
, chemo, life expectancy etc. I was totally stunned when I saw this brought out in a soap opera. The rareness of PV and it being a cancer was also detailed along with the ability to manage it. This was wonderful to see PV brought to nation wide attention.

Thriva
The
phlebotomy
stuff wouldn't be an issue anyway as I'm a nurse so could get someone to take blood. It's just some of the similar tests offered by others are so expensive!

Fatigue
I am on Hydrea, have been for some years now, and have not needed
phlebotomy
for a couple of years, although the haematocrit remains steady (between 40 and 45%). I am not sure whether I should just adapt to how I feel and concentrate on walking exercise, or whether I should push myself to do more.

The lab ignored the doctor's test request
I had blood tests at private hospital when I saw the endocrinologist privately and they charged me £157 for the
phlebotomy
and three blood tests. Looks like I will have to pay this again if I want to see what is actually going on with my blood levels. Grr.

vegetarian with pv
but after reading some blogs i am concerned that the hematologist flatly refuses to administer a
phlebotomy
even though my platelet count is high. my hematacrit is between 45 and 47.

old age and ET
PCV has risen to 47 and I am now having a
phlebotomy
every 6 weeks or so to keep it below 45. Back in 1985 I had two small children and I just got lucky that I did not have any kind of thrombosis. My girls would have suffered without their Dad.?

New Nurse Home Visit Service from Blue Horizon Medicals
Since 2009 we've been building up a list of Nurses that are able to provide mobile
phlebotomy
for our patients. It's been quite patchy in terms of geographical coverage, but we've finally got enough contracted nurses to be able to offer a UK wide service.

Chronic fatigue and depression
Hi all. I have not posted in a very long time. I do however, read all your posts and keep you all in my prayers. I am fighting severe exhaustion and depression. I force myself to get out of bed. I am Jak2+ PV diagnosed about two years ago. I have been looking for a new hematologist as I cannot tolerate

Feeling faint
I had my fourth
phlebotomy
ten days ago. Hemoglobin over 14. First time at a hospital. Usually I go to One Blood, which is a donation site. Never had a problem there. They remove the blood by gravity, takes about 25 minutes. I feel fine after.

Vein Vibration
Once I was getting a
phlebotomy
, and as the nurse tried sticking me she felt the vibration, as well. I looked at her and asked if she felt it to. She was almost panicked about it. Does anyone have this going on? Or even know what causes it? Thanks ...have a lovely weekend y'all. Carol

Edinburgh Phlebotomy?
So my one remaining hope is that somebody in Edinburgh has an NHS GP who will also take private (paying) patients for
phlebotomy
, for a reasonable charge. Short of writing to all the GPs in Edinburgh, maybe one of you knows a place? Thanks, June25

The Role of Iron in Diabetes and Its Complications
The role of iron in the pathogenesis of diabetes is suggested by 1) an increased incidence of type 2 diabetes in diverse causes of iron overload and 2) reversal or improvement in diabetes (glycemic control) with a reduction in iron load achieved using either
phlebotomy
or iron chelation therapy.

Asymptomatic high ferritin
Phlebotomy
is the next proposed action. Question-- if I'm otherwise perfectly healthy , should I be worried at all with the high ferritin? --(concerns about cancer , diabetes etc,etc?) Or should I try the
phlebotomy
and see how it goes? Am I missing anything?

Cirrhosis at 35
So, I now will be seeing them every 6 months to monitor what's happening to me, which I'm grateful for, but I'm told that my liver is functioning 'normally', and if the gene work comes back saying I've actually got Haemochromatosis,
phlebotomy
will alleviate the symptoms.

An Arkie w/ PV
Hey. First time poster here. 2004 I was diagnosed w PV. So far I've not taken any meds for this, but do have phlebotomies. In the beginning I had them twice a week but as of this year - only a couple of times a year and my oncologist is very pleased. I'm wondering, tho, what are the chances that

I'm phobic about the finger-prick blood draw
I am not squeamish about the actual blood and I don't mind the little
phlebotomy
needle, but I just can't see myself creating a wound on my finger like that.
