Just curious about why you can't have knee injections (cortisone?) until your platelets were stable. I have scoliosis and can foresee a time when I need shots at some point, so would be grateful to have more info.

Hope your hemo will communicate with your ortho about this.

I find that the ET itself isn't a big deal except for the fatigue, but it complicates all your other ailments.

I don't know the answer to that and will definitely ask my hemo at my appt next week. Thanks for your comments.
