Introduction of myself, PMF, from China

[merlisa]

Hi, I'm Qi, from China, I'm 34 years old this year.

I confirmed PMF in 2017. At that time, the splenomegaly was high, but it was not very high, and it was not so high all the time. These symptoms began to happen to me one after another as early as 2013.

JAK2V617F gene mutation, there is only one mutation in the whole set of genetic tests. The chromosome is normal.

Now, I accept the treatment of Ruxolitinib 10mg bid + Short Acting Interferon 300UI/6 days, additional I also need Prednisone + Androgen + Calcitriol for eating Ruxolitinib and Interferon.

In addition, I have an immune abnormality, and the anti dsDNA is a little bit higher than the normal high value, which is an important index of the red spot wolf storehouse, although it can not reach the diagnosis of the red spot wolf storehouse. That cause me need to eat more Prednisone.

I hope us to discuss this disease together here to avoid future transplantation. I really don't want to take the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation （Allo-PBSCT）.

Hi Qi and welcome to the forum.

Welcome, you will find people remarkably supportive on this group.I’m unable to give advise as I’m ET.

I’m sure plenty of people will. I do hope so

Welcome Qi. We can all choose how to tackle MF and the various medications can help with symptoms. However, as I am sure you know the only current cure is Stem Cell Transplant (SCT), a challenging prospect. so someone so young should not dismiss it. I had mine for PMF in the UK 10 years ago, aged 58 then. I am happy with the outcome. Happy to help should you wish to know more from the patients perspective.Chris

ps Was lucky enough to tour your country back in 2000 and have many happy memories.

Congratulations. You're cured. I'm afraid that there are no donors for me and all sorts of different arrangements after Stem Cell Transplant (SCT), which is too difficult to predict.

I’m ET, we share the same Jak2 mutation, but different manifestation of its effects.

But we’re all here for each other x
