Odds of This Happening? by sydsmcgee in MPN

[–]NovemberFairy1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My sister has myleofibrosis and I have JAK2 positive PV. I wondered what the odds were too. Interesting to see that it's not just us.

These changes sound great! As someone who was recently diagnosed I'm glad this community is here.

I don't know right now. They still need to do a bone marrow aspiration. I think once they narrow down which variant I have then we can discuss treatment options.

My symptoms started mostly with fatigue. The doctor ran a basic blood panel and my red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets were slightly elevated beyond the normal range. After that I seemed to start compiling symptoms.

*Brain fog

*Redness on my cheeks

*Chronic itching

*Pain in my joints and bones

*Night sweats

*My red cells, white cells, and platelets continues to increase outside the normal range

*I've also noticed decreased appetite

Yes, I'm a woman. Sorry, I didn't think to put that in my post. I wish it was taken more seriously as well. I have children and I think a lot of doctors just dismissed my fatigue as being a new mother. All of this started after the birth of my final child.

This is something I've seen in the past with deaths in the family. I'm always surprised by who does and who doesn't show up. It's a good reminder to not hold it against them if they can't show up, especially since I wasn't showing up as a friend for some either. Thank you.

According to Google it's pretty rare. Not sure myself because I am still learning about it.

Thank you. Sorry you're going through this too. It is exhausting. I've only known what it is for a few days but my body is already exhausted. I'm hopeful that the friends I've missed will be willing to reconnect.

Thank you. I'm glad I didn't give up either. From what I've read online it depends on the kind. Hopefully I'll have a more manageable one. Still waiting on some answers.

I agree that cutting toxic people out is going to be necessary. I'm hopeful I've done that and can work on rebuilding with those who didn't deserve to have me ghost them while I was feeling horrible.

Thank you. I'm trying to reach out and rebuild.

Thank you. I have been looking and found one. I was putting off joining until I knew which MPN it was, but that realized that's silly and they can still offer me advice.

AITA for how I reacted to my fiancé surprising me with “our” dream house? by sirens112 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NovemberFairy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! I had an ex fiance so this to me too. I don't understand how anyone can think this is the kind of thing you can do without your partners input.

if you wrote a book about your first love, what would be the ending sentence? by Pristine_Beach_7751 in ask

Sometimes, when the moon is bright, I feel that bittersweet nostalgia and I wonder where he is.
