Another covid question Re blood clotting/high risk
So. It's finally got me... At the moment, it just feels like flu with a bad chest (not terrible, just raspy and sore). I'm 4 vaccinated so hopefully it doesn't get wildly worse. But I'm only on day 2 and obviously panicking about the risks of it getting severe. I am struggling to understand exactly what

Constipation
Hi, it's been 6 weeks after my heart attack, and having 4 stents inserted. I am currently on Aspirin, Atorvastatin, Lansoprazole, Prasugrel, Ramipril, Melatonin, Tildiem and Diltiazem. I am experiencing severe constipation, despite taking multiple laxative drinks. Is this a normal side effect & if

Long Term Hydrea patients?
Hi, I'd like to hear from any long term Hydrea PV/ET patients out there? I'm 74. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago with Jak2 ET. Refused Hydrea and just stayed on daily aspirin. About 18 months ago my diagnosis was changed to PV. So I decided to take daily 1 Hydrea (500mg), My counts are well controlled

CAC Score of 477, what next?
Greetings, I always had borderline high cholesterol (190/200), In 2019 had a CT scan and was a bit shocked that it was 477 as I was very active with Crossfit..etc. That number, according to Dr. Google, is shockingly bad, and I stress every time I think about it. My cardiologist gave me a stress treadmill

raised potassium levels
I have just seen this post from FB for ET patients…. Anyone see an increase in their potassium level? Have ET Jak 2 positive for 9 years. Been on Hydrea 500 mg 3 times a week. The last 3 blood tests show my potassium levels creeping up above normal. No changes in my diet. I am on my third blood

Low VO2 Max - should I care?
I am 9 months post AVR surgery and remain on Low dose aspirin, bisoprolol and atorvastin. I have a smart watch and all my measures look good except my VO2 Max, which is consistently very low at 23. I am active and feel pretty fit, at target weight, so should I be concerned? Could this simply be a consequence

Platelet Count Fluctuations with ET - what to expect, ways to lower them naturally?
Hi There, First post. Joined to club recently with a Jak2 / ET diagnosis. Took an elective men's health blood panel almost a year ago which identified platelets at 528. In September '22 I tested at 576, and in November '22, tested at 645. Had a bone marrow biopsy this fall and the diagnosis.

Did HU reduce your headaches?
There may be a post about this, but I could not find. I’m just beginning HU, 500 mg 1 a day. I have ET JAK2 +. Until this point I’ve been on aspirin only. Platelets continue to rise, so MPN specialist suggests I begin HU. I’m hopeful this protocol will help reduce amount of headaches and fatigue

Has anyone else stopped taking a daily statin?
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I'm alone in deciding that I no longer wish to continue taking statins? I'm into my ninth week of recovery following Bypass Surgery. I'm extremely aware that compared to a lot of people who have found themselves in my situation I'm blessed. The only fly in the ointment

Lansoprazole and Omeprazole
Hi, I’m wondering if anyone else has has similar experiences with either Lansoprazole and Omeprazole. I was initially prescribed 30 mg daily of Lansoprazole because of having to take daily aspirin which can cause problems because of excess acid production. Even since I started taking Lansoprazole after
