Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

By MF, do you mean myelofibrosis or any other disease? Has the diagnosis been confirmed by doing a bone marrow examination?

I agree, there are no definite treatments for end stage MF, however, you need to discuss this with his doctor.

For seizure control, there are good medications such as levetiracetam tablets.

For gout due to high uric acid levels, good medications include allopurinol and febuxostat.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
