I am sorry to hear about the challenges to finding treatment. It should be much easier. Do you have the option to see a MPN specialist by telehealth visit? They might be better at helping you find the other specialists you need. I have had a lot of issues with my teeth, I started to see a rheumatologist and found out I have Sjogrens disease (or something that looks like it because I do not have the biomarkers) and have a treatment that is helping. I also see a periodontist now on regular schedule. I have lined up a cardiologist and I am looking for a gastroenterologist. You need a team of specialists to cover all the symptoms. That might be challenging if you live far from healthcare specialists. Moving might make sense or building relationships through telehealth. I hope you find good solutions.

I live in the Phoenix area and see Dr Chad Cherington at Ironwood Cancer Research Center. He’s outstanding. There are several location for Ironwood and he practices in the Chandler/Mesa locations. If you decide to relocate to the Phoenix area, I highly recommend Dr Cherington.

I've had PMF for a year (Hydroxy 1,000mg/day) after platelets at 1.4 million and have the same problem with my teeth. I recently had 3 stents places in my widowmaker artery. My knees are shot and the one replacement knee has been recalled for replacement but I'm not fixing anything while focused on the PMF. Platelets now ~650
