dale1k | @dale1k thank you! I didn't blame phlebotomy; I am over weight / high blood pressure caused it but didn't have sort term memory until phlebotomy ... just happened that that way. Glad your memory improved and gives me hope. HU didn't bring down numbers so hoping for phlebotomy will bring down numbers. I have no choice but to do phlebotomy; only treatment plan! I'm in so much pain, go to Walmart and need help walking, miss walking and going places. Grocery store last week , then I could NOT physically get food out of cart (no muscles) . They had to get my husband from the car and bring him in. Take the food and help me to the car. Active days are over. I used to do all my neighbors yards (free charity) LOVED OUTSIDE and OUTDOORS! Don't know if I will have legs 2023 - MF is heartbreaking! Miss my legs! Dalelk prayers and thanks for understanding ....

Wow, so sorry you are going thru so much… I have it easy compared to you.. I was only referring to myself in terms of blaming phlebotomies for memory loss.. I know that medications and procedures effect people differently… I have no pain despite having PV, prostate cancer, heart disease, and a stroke.. I know something will change for me eventually… I just don’t know when, so I try and live every day to the fullest while I still can… Prayers back to you and hope somehow, someway, things get better for you….
