Hi guys 
my name is Joanne and I was diagnosed with et roughly 24 year ago. My journey has been good until last year when my hemoglobin counts started dropping, my consultant advised me to have my 3rd bmb which showed mild fibrosis the verdict was still et and not yet reaching mf.
I’ve always had platelets on the higher side so I was to carry on using anagrelide and he introduced a new drug into the mix to treat the hemoglobin which I inject on a weekly basis and is working very well. My platelets started to drop and sat at around 152 to 250 which was great 
but today they were 95 dropping from 151 2 weeks ago I’m a very anxious person and have severe health anxiety and it’s tipped me right over the edge so I thought I’d reach out for some support.
Thanks for reading x
Hi @Lttlmystry a great big welcome to our forum, you have certainly come to the right place for support as you are now part of our form family.
It must be extra difficult for you if you have health anxiety.
Have you any support?
Do you have a specialist nurse contact you might contact or your consultant and say how anxious you are about your results.
Waiting is horrible and anxiety making.
