Welcome Linda. Here you can connect with others living with Polycythemia Vera like @chadknudson @hope19 @atir @clarissa37 @chadknudson @apr931 @mwear and @juiceinjc.

Upon receiving a new diagnosis, it is common to look for a cause. You’re asking about vitamin C and keto diet as possibly contributors. I wonder if you’ll ever know definitively. The most common risk factors for PV are age and gender (female).

What treatment if any have you had since diagnosis? What lifestyle approaches help you live well with PV?
