I was diagnosed in April of this year; after multiple blood draws & BMB, I was diagnosed with ET. I am JAK2 + & take Plavix & HU 500 mgs 3x a week. My platelets Hoover around 550 & WBC around 14.

I am doing good with no side effects from the med. I am glad to find the forum to see how everyone is getting along with MPN. Thanks for being here for us. ❤️
