Thank you.
I will be 69 years old next month and was diagnosed with PMF in January. My spleen is already 19 cm as is my liver as well. I have varying but constant abdominal pain/discomfort. My doctor prescribed hydroxyurea last month and it seems to be starting to help as my pain level is coming down.
I have sporadic fatigue. Some days it's hard to get anything done. My only other bother is diarrhea.
I also have Type 2 Diabetes which pretty much dictates what and when I eat.
I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude but it's a challenge some days. @dunewalker 's message was a helpful reminder to keep up a proper perspective.
