Hi, I went to my GP with frequent pins and needles in hands and feet, numbness in hands, some temporary visual disturbances and fatigue.

Less symptoms now on Hydroxy and Aspirin.

I have ET Jak2 diagnosed Sept 17.

Best Wishes, Suzy.

Also didn't know I had any until diagnosed. Get temporary visual disturbances & headaches, loss of concentration, occasional tingling hands & feet with hands & feet always cold, Also aching bones. Not sure how many of these are down to the condition or unrelated.

I ignored them all but I had vision issues, dizzy spells, fatigue, and worst of all occasional night sweats. The sweat had a strange odor and was not normal consistency. It all went away after a few months without any treatment. I’m only on aspirin now and fatigue is the only symptom, maybe.

Hubby has major fatigue, memory loss, lack of concentration, pins & needles in hands & feet, night sweats, hip & leg pain. He thought he had dementia which led him to go to the doctors & led to his diagnosis.
