Hello Everyone my name is Aimee and I’m from the US. My Hematologist suspects that I have PV and I’m in the testing faze of it currently. I also have hereditary Hemochromatosis and was diagnosed with that in 2016. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have PV, JAK2+ and have been on meds for a year now. My hematologist likes my ferritin level to be at or below anemic levels. I have good control on 500 mg Hydroxyurea and a blood draw about every 6-8 weeks.
