I-HES (Idiopathic Hypereosinophilic Syndrome)

Finally...my blood test results are back and now we know what kind of HES I have. It's I-HES, aka, Idiopathic Hypereosinophilic Syndrome. There's too much involved in explaining it, but I found a link that does a pretty good job. http://www.orpha.net/data/patho/GB/uk-IdiopHypereosinophSyndr.pdf
The results of this test were to determine what course of treatment (medicines) I should be taking. I will be taking a chemo called Hydrea and will start in a couple of months....or whenever I'm completely wheened off the prednisone. I'll update my blog when I start.
I've heard pretty good things about Hydrea as far as tolerance of it goes, so I hope that I'm one of those that tolerate it well.
