Thank you all
Usually run close to 15 then
phlebotomy
. Dr. says this is too low for me and causing wicked fatigue. This surely is a tough balance with PV as I need iron but cannot take it. UGH HUGS to all.

Canker sore
I had good news today my hematocrit has gone down from 59 to 41.3 with
phlebotomy
alone. About 3 weeks ago I had a small blister on the left inside of my gum that went away and now feels like a canker sore. Went to the dentist and did X-Rays and found it was not tooth related.

Feeling better after 4 weeks phlebotomy.
To all my helpful friends out there. I can say I am feeling a bit better my hemacrit started at 59 I'm down to 49 after 4 weeks. I am due for a blood draw today. As the numbers become more normal, my hemo wants me about 45. Due some of the side affects start to become less bothersome? My biggest complaint

Last & final results for thyroid on self care only
I was advised by a private counsellor to gatecrash

What does this mean??
Treatment has been aspirin and
phlebotomy
about once a year. After reading some of the posts, I went back and looked at my BMB and JAK2 from diagnosis and saw that my allele burden was 80%... this seems super high! I'm kinda freaking out... what does this mean?

PV that was't!
I immediately had a
phlebotomy
and had a second one a week later which resulted in my Hct becoming a nice normal 42. By this time, my other tests , Jak2, EPO, returned normal. So, the doctor said he needed a bone marrow biopsy in order to make a diagnosis.

Update - PV + NF1-Brain Tumor + Even more excitement!
His recommendation for me was
phlebotomy
-only, which is the treatment regimen I am following now. For those who have not heard this part of the story before, the tumor turned out to be a pilocytic astrocytoma (Grade 1 tumor).

PV diagnosis
Hello All, I was diagnosed with PV 3 weeks ago my hematocrit was 59. After 3 phlebotomies my number is 54. I was expecting more of a drop? Anyone know if this is good and normal and does it just take some time to reduce to normal? Any help would be appreciated. Nervous on what to expect. Thanks

RLS and Hemochromatosis
I had one
phlebotomy
and the ferritin dropped to about 170. I read this should not go below 100 with RLS but the doctor wants to do anyother
phlebotomy
(they seem to know very little about RLS and hemochromatosis. Should I insist I do not want it done?

Extreme fatigue
Good morning all. I never post but felt perhaps someone could help. My fatigue is so bad that I have to force myself to get out of bed. Then getting through the day is a struggle. I am not on any meds except 1 low dose aspirin. Diagnosed with PV about 7 years. Have phlébotomies about once a month when
