@msmac3 wow. What an upbeat person you are. I also have PV. I was recently diagnosed at age 79 and after my platelets went up around 50 points (close to 600) my hematologist has me now on 1000mg of hydrea daily instead of 500 when first diagnosed. I care stress normally and due to your above comments on stress I’m going to work doubly hard at being more “Zen” like. Great attitude you have on the way you have been approaching this blood disorder!

Thanks for those words. I think you are wise to look at someway of release any stress you can't do a thing about. That has been what helped me. If I can't do anything about it...DROP IT.
This new RX seems to be better..I worked in my garden all day and no neuropathy in my feet and toes. That was a gift. We can't do anything about the blood disorder but we can do lots to still enjoy a wonderful full life. Age is just a number.
