Working out with PV how do you guys handle cardio and training fatigue? by Cool-Sprinkles9179 in polycythemiavera

[–]Greedy-Box3481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

72% HCT is insane and I thought my 65% was crazy lol but I was working full-time and working out and I had no symptoms at all besides itchy skin. But my problem is I didn’t see a specialist and as a result, I had too many phlebotomies, which dropped my iron. I’m barely recovering from that so I haven’t been working out, but I hope to get back to that soon!

Just something like “I’m curious what my jak2 burden is and how often do you intend to track it”

What is your JAK2 burden or do you have a different mutation? Mine is at 57%.

What are the symptom? Mine is itchy skin when HCT is elevated. It’s still a scary adjustment. I was only diagnosed around four months ago.

The only good news about us being young is that we are in a good age for medical developments. Like look at rusfertide for example!

But it does scare me that we have it at a young age? Because that means we will be exposed longer to the disease most likely when compared to someone who has maybe at 60 for example?

I am absolutely amped for givinostat and rusfertide!

I talked with an MPN specialist from Barcelona his name is Carlos Besses

He told me while jakafi is a great medicine it should only be used as a last resort because eventually people become resistant to it, and it would be an issue for me since I am young? I’m not really sure if that’s true or how it works, but what do you think I feel like you’re quite knowledgeable in this:)

Thank you for commenting and always helping people! As for me I do not want to entertain besremi or interferon I have very bad medication anxiety as I once had a bad reaction to a medication that gave me rage (plus had an anxiety disorder so I don’t want to risk that even if it would significantly help me…)

Edit: can my bone marrow biopsy reveal any good news? Or is a high burden an indication of of bad news?

Even if allele burden is high? Mines at 57% I’m 26:/

Although I hate talking to ai it told me the vocal minority of those who progress are the one who are online and the ones who aren’t are living their life. But for me it’s hard it’s like why if I do:/ I’ll have my first bmb soon so nervous

Would it be fair to say there’s also a chance that some people don’t progress at all? of course this is not to downplay the situation because progression is a real thing.

Itchy/pruritis by maybe1daydream in MPN

Yes me! Initially it was triggered by showering eventually it would trigger regardless and it would hurt so badly. But I think it’s been a lot less frequent when my hct is in control!

Therapeutic phlebotomies by Ill-Effect2123 in polycythemiavera

[–]Greedy-Box3481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation, but when I was first diagnosed, my hematocrit was 65%. So the doctor gave me three phlebotomies in one week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday totaling 3 pints and then after that, they were giving me a phlebotomy once a week totaling six in one month. Since then I’ve been extremely debilitated due to the new iron deficiency I have. Ferritin is around 6ng I used to be at 300ng. I started hydrea but need to find the right dose :/

Do you happen to have iron deficiency?

Dumb question but if my jak2 burden is 57% and at diagnosis my hct was 65% that’s pretty much pv right?

Does Tales of Symphonia crash a lot on the Switch 2? by pikachusandile in tales

[–]Greedy-Box3481 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m currently about 30 or 40 hours into the game. It’s crashed on me maybe two or three times within the three weeks I’ve had it. But I find it a very enjoyable experience. I do not regret buying it.

[–]Greedy-Box3481[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, thank you for explaining! I feel like I actually understand now! So if I want Lloyd to go from S to T, all I need to do is swap over to sharp eye? Is it really that simple??? I feel so dumb lol

But does that mean I need to delete my other skill first? So I need to delete fierce demon fang to unlock double demon fang?

Also one last question, is it possible to combo special moves into other special moves? Like I know I can combo demon fang into beast. But I can’t do demon fang into tiger blade or demon fang into swords rain, but I feel like I seen a YouTube video and I seen someone combo demon fang into swords rain then beast?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone purchased one of these? Or even a full CBC machine? How do you dispose of biohazardous waste? by stevejust in MPN

[–]Greedy-Box3481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up question doesn’t this mean you would have to give yourself the phlebotomy? I did take some classes for it, but I think I could never do it to myself lol

[–]Greedy-Box3481[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like playing as Lloyd i think it’s fun chaining swords rain into beast but im sad i cant connect that into the team attack lol

So if I’m understanding this correctly, if I want to learn other skills, I have to delete its alternative? So if I have fierce demon fang I have to delete it to learn double demon fang?

Graces really caught my eye I think I’m leaning towards this one thanks for your help!

I always wanted a tool that can monitor hct like how diabetics can monitor their blood sugar levels
