PEM What is your reaction? A new study from the Netherlands

With the information from this study I would like to state that the CMML I have been diagnosed with could also be a result of my long Covid!! The hematologist’s answer when I asked about my theory is “I work with blood not Covid . “ please is anyone else being told they have leukemia?? If Covid can tear up mitochondria in such a fashion could blood conditions not also be caused by Covid ?? Abnormal cells etc.. will it never end!!????

Hi okradurham,
Isn't this an awful club to belong to?
Your hematologist sounds like a lot of specialists I have been to see-- they won't consider anything outside of their specialty silo. Your guy's answer is an especially irritating-- and almost insulting-- example of it.
That said, your hematologist may just be a great hematologist anyway. He may not give a hoot about *how* you got it. You have it. And he wants to focus on *how* to get you better. The cause of it may not matter to how it is treated.
He sounds kinda like a jerk of a person but he still may be a really great hematologist. I had a surgeon like that; no people skills, great surgical skills. My feelings can heal a lot faster than my innards! However, I wouldn't go to a primary care physician who spoke to me like that, since the patient-primary doc depends on good communication.
Best of luck to you!

It seems for some of us it will never end.
