I met my new hematologist yesterday.  The new one at the clinic.  Much
better than one could have hoped for, I think.
Very intelligent.

She recognized that I was in an acute porphyria attack and gave me IV
glucose for it, with more to come on Tuesday.
She also clarified VERY well my other dx, saying I had ET rather than
PV and explaining why, and this is the lesser of the two problems.

This is so helpful.  Did the Lord arrange for me to go there at just
the right time for her to discover my acute attack?
I am so used to the condition going unrecognized that I have become
inured to just enduring it.   And it was becoming nearly impossible to
endure.

It was good to have such immediate response, and so unusual.

Thanks for prayers!

I'm praying for you all, especially Chip who is in such severe distress.
