Im kayla, im 15 and im from illinois. My parents found out i had PV at the age of 5. It runs in my family and it can dominate in one generation. My dad, aunt, and grandpa have it so far in are family. I was just wondering if anyone could give me information about PV or if someone knows someone around my age with PV i could talk to. I just feel like im the only one but i know im not im curious how tother people deal with it. If you would please email me with any information my email is mae_mrgn@yahoo.com Thank You
Hey there Kayla. You definitely beat me in the "young people with weird diseases" category. I was diagnosed when I was 18 with Essential Thrombocytosis, I'm 22 now. It is another one of the myeloproliferative disorders that PV falls into. I would recommened joining us over in the "Living with" section, and select "myelodysplastic syndroms...." and we hang out in the "Living with PV and ET, our new home" thread. come on over and meet the rest of the girls.
What type of treatment have you been on?
