Hi - there is another test you should ask for - CALR. Only about 50% of ET Patients are JAK2 Positive.
Make sure you keep pressing for answers. Good luck to you.

i have ET and often get itchy hands and feet! But you will probably need a bone marrow biopsy to confirm that you have it.

I had terrible itching/crawling feeling all over my skin before I was diagnosed , it nearly drove me mad. Once I was diagnosed (et and pcv) and went on hydroxy it all stopped. I occasionally get irritated skin, but find SBC gels help me enormously. Hope all goes well for you.
