MPN Advocacy & Education International was joined by Dr. Craig Kessler, Georgetown University, to discuss the important questions you should be asking when seeing your hematologist.
Really happy to see someone address masking and other mitigations for MPN patients. I have ET and wear masks indoors around others and don't eat or drink in restaurants. Still a novid as far as I know.
Thank you for mentioning the environmental aspects at about 8:15; I'm an Iraq Veteran and have been going back and forth with the VA on their assessing a service connection.
Are the graphs you are showing at minute 16/17 of this video referring to all ET patients or to those who were not vaccinated at the time of contracting COVID. How do ET/JAK 2/over 60 on HU fare if they are fully vaccinated...7 vaccines including the new one this fall. Thank you for this very interesting talk.
Had CV, no issues. Since we know the shot doesn't actually prevent catching it and we are just learning the side effects. I would weigh the choice carefully...it is interesting how they gloss over the vax side effects. For those who want to attack me, I have family (multiple) who suffered injuries due to their shot and even the FAA has relaxed heart condition standards because they are seeing so many issues post CV shot. So make sure to do your research and keep an open mind.
