I have PCV with Jak 2 . I take 2 baby aspirin a day and phlebotomy when my hemocrit reaches 44. So far I have only needed phlebotomy’s every 3 to 4 months. Itching is my biggest side effect, and treat that with antihistamines. Hope I stay with this treatment until they find a cure.

Hello, I haven't posted, I've been going through a number of tests. Sleep apnea I understand can be a cause as well as the heart. I had 2 heart tests this week and a at home sleep test. I've also had one philbotomy. I now will complete appts set up first 2 weeks of September to find out results for my rbc and ht elevations. My last labs about a month ago they were still out but I'm set up for more the 1st week of Sept. This will be the first labs after philbotomy. I have not had a bone marrow biopsy yet but I expect it if these things don't indicate a condition. I felt better after the philbotomy but it lasted about a week.
I will post with results and hopefully better news.
