Loss of speech and ability to form words. Debilitating fatigue. Rapid vision changes over the past year. 💦 SWEATING day and night, BONE PAIN and general aching and pain throughout body. What a champion of a disease! 🙄

Multiple blood clots causing "probable TIA", spleen infarct and almost dying from multiple PE's that so damaged my lungs I now have to use oxygen when I sleep and my pulmonary function is permanently impaired. And slightly enlarged spleen.

I don't know if these are related to my MPN: Heat intolerance (exhaustion if in high heat & humidity for even a short time), getting chilled easily in air conditioning, random (unexplainable) and extremely rare episodes of exhaustion.

I think it would be helpful for me if people indicated their diagnosis. That would enable us to see if there are common threads. I believe there are major differences among the three main MPNS.

Also experience breathlessness, night sweats & shaking. I have Myelofibrosis (Jak2) & auto immune hemolytic anemia. Currently taking Jakafi 10mg, after a great deal of dosage adjustment due to low platelets.

The deep bone ache from head to toe is probably the most painful symptom I have from PV. Thankfully, I usually only have this symptom leading up to a phlebotomy. Within 3 days after a phlebotomy that sensation is usually gone. When you combine this with the weariness, it is a miserable time.
