ET: Changing from HU to Jakafi or an Interferon treatment
I now have the choice between
Jakafi
(Ruxolitinib) or one of the Interferon treatments. My instinct points to
Jakafi
particularly as it's supposed to influence JAK2.
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has taken this step, i.e. from HU to
.

Jakafi and night
Anyone else on
Jakafi
/ruxolitinib and have their head “racing” at bedtime? I guess sort of like you’ve had several cups of coffee and laid down to sleep.

Antiinflammatory medications with Jakafi
I've read that there is a moderate risk of bleeding after using ibuprofen with
Jakafi
. I'd appreciate hearing reactions from people on
Jakafi
who have taken ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications. Which anti-inflammatory medications would minimize the risk of such interactions?

Jakafi out of stock
Hi all fellows in MPN, I just met my doc and informed that Malaysia especially Kuala Lumpur hospitals out of stock for
Jakafi
and Pegasys. If you have a plan to see your doc in very near time, pls ensure to ask more for your buffer stock. Cheers

PV and AMD?
I've had PV since 2015 and have been on
Jakafi
for 18 months. I've recently been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration and have been treated with intravitreous avastin. I've seen some papers suggesting that AMD is more common for people with MPNs. Has anyone else had this experience?

besremi or jakafi
The MD suggested we look at both Besremi and
Jakafi
. I’ve been combing through the product profiles and am finding myself wondering how to decide which one to go forward with. I understand that one is an injectable, so that might be a choosing point for some.

Jakafi
It has been two weeks that I am taking one pill a day. My hemoglobin today was an8 and last week was 11 ,has anyone had a drop like this and one week with just one pill? My doctor does not seem concerned because I’m feeling fine. I am rechecking next week and just nervous about it going lower

itching
I plan to stay on Besremi unless it makes sense to switch to
Jakafi
, which I hear is excellent at controlling itch. I just got word from my dermatologist that some people have felt relief with a combination of Zrtec or Allegra and Pepcid.

Besremi benefits?
hello community, I’ve previously asked a question about Besremi vs
Jakafi
( for my husband with PV, currently on hydroxyurea) and really appreciative the responses.

Just diagnosed with 4.0 cm aneurysm of ascending aorta and severe calcification
I switched to
Jakafi
a few months ago and had one phlebotomy. I’m thinking it was August. The last two months my HCT has been 41 and 41.6, however my platelets continue to bounce between 700 and 800 and my white blood count between 14.8 and 15.

Open letter
The biopsy revealed the genetic mutation (not sure if it was JAK2, CALR) and her hematologist prescribed
Jakafi
. Most important to our family is that Mom doesn't suffer.

Besremi or Jakafi coverage on Medicare?
Anyone on here have Medicare coverage for either of these drugs? I just went online and see that the cost would be about $3,500 a year. Thanks!

Besremi side effects?
He is the one that told me to think about both Besremi and
Jakafi
. I suggested that he wait to start until he has spoken with the specialist again. Thanks for any insight……

jakafi and Pegasys combination for Myelofibrosis
Does anyone have both
Jakafi
and Pegasys? My Mpn has hinted that this might be a good combination. I think there have been trials but I can’t find them now!

panicking a bit
I mistakenly took my second dose of
Jakafi
20 mg 4 hrs earlier than usual. This being France and holiday month I cannot get hold of my haematology care team for my PV… SHOULD I BE WORRIED?
