I am going to the heart stroke clinic in a week as they think I had one.but for now I just keep going with the blood drops and hydroxyurea. I would find it strange if I had one and did not realize it,but one day I did fall down and could not remember how I got there.Well to all keep on trucking

As I stated in my post, I thought there was something wrong with my brain due to the slight dizziness… The blood tests and confirmation of the JAK2 mutation that followed got me the diagnosis of PV, which I never had heard of… My appointment with the Neurologist and subsequent brain scan identified that I had a stroke.. As I stated, they couldn’t tell me when it occurred and I certainly didn’t know due to lack of any symptoms. So, I see my Neurologist once a year to see if there is any more damage to the brain… I hope all goes well with you…
