Polycythemia Vera Information

[Guest guest]

Here is a Link that tells a little about Polycythemia

http://rarediseases.about.com/od/rarediseasesp/a/polycythemia.htm

As I understand it a person can have this malady for along time without

needing to treat it medically.

Until at some point a catalyst activates the multiplication of platelets and

red and white blood cells. Seeing that there has been a significant link to the

mutation of the JAK2 Protein and polycythemia it would in my mind be reasonable

to suspect the any drug that could cause such a reaction to occur would be a

likely candidate.

I have purposely not mentioned the drugs that my wife was subjected to

because I don't want to taint the response by directing toward a specific

target.

So in actuality I'm searching not only for the possible cause of the disease

but also the catalyst that caused it's progression.

Thank you for your time and help
