Hi all,
Got the results from my MRI on finger joint and still they don’t know why, but did state could be inflammatory component which might explain some of my elevate platelet issues. I am glad I am getting bone marrow biopsy and MRI seems to indicate that one of my swollen finger joint might be appropriate too. I am not sure if they do it in such a small joint, but as with all this, it will be a learning curve for me. I am still blessed to feel perfectly fine and now have normal BP readings with new approve monitor of sometime 99/55 and sometime 115/78 which are perfectly normal. I am so glad I finally met a good doctor in person in the urgent care a week ago who actually evealiatws me in person and my case. I am no rush to do anything until my case becomes a lot more clear to me and the O/H and rheumatologist. I really do not appreciate being thrown drugs to try in case I might have something. That is just not my style as I do not take any prescribed meds and have not for at least twenty years plus. Hydrea just doesn’t seem like a good thing in 2025 as it is such an old drug from the 1950s and doesn’t cure but just lowers platelets. My genetic testing determined no am low risk for thrombosis also.
Thanks for listening and everyone’s input.

Sorry so many typos! I will get better about my proofreading before posting in the future.
