Does your oncologist acknowledge that ET may cause bone pain?

My Hemo/Onco actually suggested to me Claritin might help with the bone pain. He said he knew it sounded strange but some of his MPN patients have said it actually works. I have tried it and it didn't touch the pain for me, but it might be worth trying.

Always check with your own oncologist, because we are all different.

Speaking for myself: Generic Claritin helps me immensely!

With ET, our abnormal platelets can trigger our immune response. With a daily pill (and my oncologist's approval), I have significantly less painful inflammation, less itching, and easier breathing.

This hint from nohrt4me has truly boosted my quality of life.
