Hi Pauline, Mikulas is right. Dont try anything cos you dont know how they will interact with aspirin or other med you are taking. This is a good support group. At times I think that the people in this support group are more knowledgeable on ET that most docs or hematologist. I too have joints pains particularly knee pains. I read that this is one of the many menopausal symptoms. As we get older, we get pains all over even if we dont have ET. Take care
