I am + JAK2 and just had a biopsy and they still don't know for certain that I have ET but my blood work is normal except my platlets are high in the 580s. I had a stroke last year and I'm only 49 the main symptom was numbness and tingling in my hands and after the stroke burning sensation in my feet. Nobody was listening to me until I pushed for further testing and was positive. They have started me on hydrea and no bad side effects. Just hope it brings my platlets down so I don't have another stroke.

I am Jak2 and this was diagnosed after 2 mild strokes in which I experienced numbness in my left hand, inside my left cheek and tingling of my left foot. Both strokes occurred in the sa.e week. My platelet count was very high and my BP shot up well over 250. I am 75 and otherwise very healthy. I am on aspirin, hydrea, and bp meds and doing fine but am extremely tired most of the time. How do you all handle the fatique?
