Thank you I have contacted my primary care doctor . I have thought about another hemo.

You have been so helpful . I just feel like enough is not being done to find the primary cause.

Have a blessed day

Hope you get some help from your GP.

And a different hemo might make a difference. My original hemo was knowledgeable, I agreed with her treatment goals and methods, but not real easy to talk to or interested in anything outside blood numbers. Her replacement is younger and much more attuned to any symptoms that could indicate ET progression.

I was in the ER with abdominal pain in November. They couldn't find anything, no spleen enlargement. My GP ran follow-up tests.

I was surprised the hemo mentioned it at my routine check-up, but she took quite a bit of time asking questions and eventually suggesting biotin, which has helped.
