polycythemia vera

just dx. with this disease, and looking for anyone who can give me insight into this

Your bone marrow is producing too many red blood cells.  The biggest risk of this blood disorder is developing clots.  There is no cure; it is only managed.

Bloodletting (withdrawing blood), low-dose aspirin, interferon medication, etc. are some treatments that are used.
