8 hour flight
I was diagnosed with ET with jak2 about 5 years ago, my platelets aren’t bad at all only 790 at last count, so am only on mini aspirin at present. Going on 8 hour flight soon, should I take any extra precautions? A colleague told me I should be taking fragmin as such a long flight! Does anyone have any

Do I have COPD?
The x-rays show hyper inflated lungs with emphysemic changes, however 2 years in a row I passed the
pulmonary
function
test
. I have never had a cough, wheezing or sputum. Also, most of my serum co2 levels have been slightly elevated for the last 7 years ( that makes me suspicious).

An Eventful January
I like to keep the NHS busy. My January itinerary as its stands, although more can be added yet. Week 1 - Respiratory Chest Consultant, following a CT Scan on 29/12 I had an appt with the Consultant a few days later.

lung volume reduction through value insertion

I am due a consultation to discuss the possibility of value insertion but apparently they now put you under with anaesthetic and put you on a breathing machine and they are worried about me coming off that and say it is a risk so I don't know what I should

Had
pulmonary
function
test
that showed restrictive breathing volume and I have consult in Nov. Today my JAK2 test posted on mychart it is negative. My question is what in your experience is next? Does the negative JAK2 mean my doctor will just say I’m fine or what might be the best next step?
