Update 8.1 - post venesection
I followed up on my planned
venesection
on March 26. I had a CBC done today. the results look good. HCT=42.1%, down from 47.3%. The next planned CBC is April 26. We will see how things look then. NEUT came back up a bit, now at 1.30. So low, but acceptable level of neutropenia.

Bloods unstable
Since my diagnosis my bloods have only been stable for a few weeks and at my last review I was told my haemoglobin 169 and haemltocrit had crept back up to 0.527 I was told they didn't want to send me for a
venesection
because they need to control my blood count with the interferon and that over

changing medication
I have PV diagnosed 8 years ago and all good with
venesection
and aspirin only. Until my platelets and white cells started rising. I’ve been on interferon 95mcg for a year but with horrid side effects, however kept my blood in line.

Diagnosis at last! Haemochromotosis?
He is starting
venesection
treatment for that shortly. Anyone got any experience of this? Did
venesection
improve symptoms (fatigue, pain etc)?

HCT above average
Hey, could any one advise if HCT can be dropped / managed with
venesection
? I've noticed on a random blood test from GP few months ago my hematocrit was 0.55 I assume this is considered high. In addition I do regular full blood tests in a local hospital and I never noticed Hematocrit on results.

Alternative parts of body for a venesection?
Had my
venesection
today. However, as I have CP I always have to use my strongest arm as I can't properly straighten the other and keep it still enough.

How long have you had to wait for a venesection?
I've been told by my consultant that I need a
venesection
and I'll hear from the hospital in due course. (I tend to need it done 1-2 times per year).

MPN specialist Claire Harrison
I’m anaemic & am due a
venesection
next Monday. The medication I’m on doesn’t seem to be working as my bloods are all over the place. I was referred by my Haematologist in June this year to see a specialist at Guys & St Thomas London but have not heard anything back.

Advice about Hydroxycarbamide/ Anagrelide please
I've been for another
venesection
but they won't review me until the 19th January 2024. I have been taking 135 micro of interferon every two weeks with a 90 dose on the other week. The consultant asked me to increase to 135 micro every week.

just diagnosed
This week I had my first
venesection
and have started on hydroxyurea. I am so relieved! Strange , I know, to be relieved at a diagnosis but I feel vindicated as I have been touting my bag of symptoms around, mostly bone pain, headaches and dizziness since I turned 60.

Combining Hydroxycarbomide with venesections?
My question is; might a
venesection
be of more therapeutic value at this stage rather than an increase in the Hydroxycarbomide? It has been a year since the last one, before commencing medication. I look forward to your thoughts.
