PV, JAK2+ Hydroxy and Pega.

Been up and down with my hct, they added Interferon about 2 years ago, not much change, some venesections etc.

Over the last three visits, my hct has come down, spoke to the consultant this morning, very pleased, next appointment (telephone) in 3 months and a reduction in Hydroxy from 6 to 5, I was at one time on 17 per week.

Chart attached..

Stay safe...

That’s a good posology to both hit the jak2 and potentially the covid19 !
