My husband had Lymes and Erlichiosis (another tick-borne disease) 12-15 years ago. In 2021 he was diagnosed with Jak2 MPN, or Primary Myelofibrosis.
We often wonder if the two are related. His hematologists can’t confirm this. I don’t know if there have been studies regarding this. In your case, how were they able to confirm the Lymes connection?
I’m happy to say that he has just passed day +100 post BMT and is doing very well. All the best to you as you continue through the process of recovery.

Hi I had Lyme disease about 20 years ago and was then diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis about 12 years ago. Now I have leg weakness and irregular heartbeat. I believe this is all connected but can’t get any answers from doctors. I used to be very fit running ultra marathons now I struggle to walk
