I read with sympathy, concern, and interest your post; I don't know how old you are, but you certainly have much to contend with. It is helpful to hear from others and what they have been, and are going through and steps they have taken to alleviate them. My prayers and good wishes are with you to a very comforting solution.
I have PV, along with a plethora of other maladies, but I am 82 yrs old and am just too tired to fight by pursuing answers, solutions, medications, tests, doctors, labs, etc. and just want to spend my last of whatever is left of my life in peace, comfort, and what serenity I can garner.
My best to you for most happy days for now and hopefully a long future.

Thank you, @rozbee
I am almost 75 (will be in September). I have been through a lot so I am not ready to "throw in the towel" now, plus my first grandchild is now 10 months old and I hope to be around awhile to see her grow. She is an absolute delight and an inspiration for me to stay around.
My family history of course does concern me. When I went through thorough exams and tests to qualify for my liver transplant my heart was strong so hopefully this will just be a blip in my path. My brother had his first heart attack when he was 65 but managed to live to the age of 79 despite not following a very good diet and exercise regimen. I am more adherent to doing what is needed so I hope to do at least as well.
