Why are my platelets normal now with ET?
I just had my routine 4 month bloodwork and my platelets are normal at 399. They were also normal in March at 396. I haven’t had normal platelets in about 10 years or more. I have only been on aspirin. Was only just diagnosed by BMB with ET last July. Why would my platelet count all of a sudden be normal

Yet another issue
In July last year I had a heart attack caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection. That came as a shock in itself. Four months later the cardiologist I was referred to in Leicester told me the angiogram I had on the day of the heart attack also shows two areas of atherosclerosis which he said

Orgovyx - anything to avoid taking along with it ?
Those who take orgovyx - what time do you usually take it ? Can one take blood pressure medicines and aspirin 75mg along with it ?

IVF - After a Miscarriage
Hi All I’ve had SLE since 2014, and I had a miscarriage in my first trimester in Jan 24. Since, I’ve been referred for IVF and in parallel I am trying to get a referral to a Lupus In Pregnancy clinic so both the fertility and lupus clinic that specialises in pregnancy can help build a plan for me.

Stopping clopidogrel

APS and Panic Attacks
Hi, I have been living with the diagnosis of APS since 2017 after a mini-stroke in my left eye, which fortunately left no damage. Recently, I switched from aspirin to warfarin after possibly experiencing another mini-stroke, though this hasn't been confirmed by tests. Sometimes, I feel dizzy, short

How many donor egg transfers before success?
I’ve been trying for a sibling for over a year now and made the move to double donor this year. I’m now having my second chemical from two good quality donor embryos, from egg donors in their early 20s. I’m feeling very disheartened and just wondering if anyone has success after more than two transfers

E.T. Symptoms
I’m JAK2 positive and have been diagnosed with E.T. a few weeks ago. I’m on hydroxycarbamide plus aspirin and am 74 and, apart from this, am reasonably fit.

waiting for an MRI
Hi. I am new here so not 100% sure how this works. I’m just getting anxious at the moment and wondered if this was normal to feel like this. It came to light at the end of January that I had a slight heart attack. I thought it was a panic attack but have been told that it has slightly damaged my heart

Low Dose Aspirin for Heart Disease
My cardiologist wants me to take a daily low dose aspirin, but I am hesitant as I have a history of proteinuria. I know the studies are inconclusive as to whether or not it helps (and even my cardiologist admits that), but I have a bad valve and my risk is moderately high for sudden death/stroke. I'm
