Last & final results for thyroid on self care only
I was advised by a private counsellor to gatecrash
phlebotomy
today. I knew the nurse - so was able to get the blood draw. But after I eat I feel so ill, & then I have to sleep. I don't know if I can finish this post tonite, as I have eaten.

Question about hydroxy and being low risk PV patient
Hello all. Wanted to know if since I am low-risk and currently on low dose asprin with phlebotomies occurring probably every 4-6 weeks, if I should stick with this treatment or start on hydroxyurea that my doctor suggested me to take? My hct is 45, platelets run from 770-860 and wbc was 13.5. From what

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

Itching
So far I am just taking aspirin and occasional
phlebotomy
, although my platelet and white counts are on a bit high. I have been pretty asymptomatic, aside from itching.

Iron.
Incidentally, my last lab result in 2018, without the assistance of
phlebotomy
, was 95 mg/mL.

Since then, I have maintained with aspirin and
phlebotomy
( only about once a year). Just had my hem appointment and my platelets and white count have been creeping up over time and my dr is talking about HU. How long can you take HU? How long have you been taking it??

PV and burning Feet
He was advised
phlebotomy
and aspirin which continues todate. However his WBC seems to be rising slowly and it is today at 18,000. Many doc’s have suggested HU which I do not agree for at this stage.

After esophagectomy no longer storing iron from hemochromatosis, 6 years now.
My last
phlebotomy
was June 2013, since my esophagectomy I no longer store iron, in fact I am borderline anemic. Has anyone else had this issue, does this seem normal and why the change as it is genetic and is never supposed to go away??

Blood work with a possible change in doctor's
Prior doctor allowed
phlebotomy
when HCT was at 44.6. My last
phlebotomy
was done in January and the one before that was in October. Before that I was getting them on the average of every 6 to 8 weeks.
