@lynnebgraham Polycythemia?! Is anything but platelets off on your blood tests? I'd check with the PC. I bet it's a brain fart on his part. Or autocorrect on his computer. I notice that every time I type in "thrombocythemia," my computer changes it to "thrombocytopenia."

Well, boo to surgery and running around for medical things! Will the lumps grow back? Any ideas what causes them?

I have a gravelly voice, too! We should form a singing duo!

Thanks for the update. It would sure be good to know if any of these ailments are related to ET. I am updating my gall bladder saga over on my high LDH thread.

Our Christmas was very low-key but enjoyable, and I hope yours and everyone else had a good day, celebrating or not.
