Switch from HU to Pegasys - update 2.0!

[FG251]

6 weeks in and latest call from consultant:

Platelets: 395, Hb: 155, Hct: 0.459

Will stay on 3x500mg a week for a while longer as PEG can take time to fully kick in, but liver, kidney and thyroid function all good and NO adverse reactions to date!

In the gym now, renewing my vows to the cross-trainer…!

Ah, I forgot to say: ‘…followed by a Twirl and a cup of tea.’ 😂 ☕️

Good news!!

[mhos61]

Great news, hope it continues to go well for you.Fancy a twirl now...!🤔

[FG251 in reply to mhos61]

I had one finger and left the other for tomorrow. I can’t begin to describe how hard that was 😟

[mhos61 in reply to FG251]

Now, that’s what I call willpower. The image of that lonely finger would bother me enormously, wouldn’t be able to sleep with that knowledge 🤣

[FG251 in reply to mhos61]

Don’t worry - it’s definitely earmarked for tomorrow! Maybe I’m carrying the ‘anti-inflammatory’ diet to extremes, but I have such a sweet tooth, I feel I must make occasional sacrifices.

[Solyesh in reply to FG251]

Feel this 1,000 times! Good on you!

[FG251 in reply to Solyesh]

I went for a late-night walk yesterday with a friend and we stopped off for tea/coffee. He ordered chocolate mousse cake with caramel and chocolate sauce. I sat and watched. 😢However, I looked at my online medical records and discovered that I weighed more in 1992 than I do now 😇 🤣

So good your platelets dropping, how on earth did you resist the other finger of twirl...

[FG251 in reply to ciye]

I confess, I made up for it today by having two!
