Let's hope they find something for the JAK2 driver soon!
Jane, are you on HU?
And, I am wondering, has any one tested, or test regularly for inflammation in the body? If yes, what tests?

Yes, I take 7,500 mg of HU each week.
As to inflammation, here's what Google AI has to say:
Yes, Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) is closely linked to chronic inflammation. The bone marrow overproduction of platelets in ET is driven by underlying inflammatory cytokines, and this constant state of inflammation causes constitutional symptoms like fatigue, night sweats, and low-grade fevers.
With you, I wonder what tests can be done to monitor inflammation -- ??
