Hydroxy v Interferon

[RazB]

Hello again, I wrote a post with same title 7 months ago and had a great and really helpful response and I want to thank you all. I had read and reread all your replies many times and have found them all incredibly supportive. I have had a pack of Pegasys in my fridge since November and TODAY is the day that have decided to start taking it! I’ll let you know how I get on….💪🙏🤞

I am very glad I started on the IFNs. My only regret is that i waited so long. Wishing you success.

All the best

Raz, Just starting out on Besremi (interferon) myself after months of research and thinking. We're on the same bus! Hope it is a great journey.

Thanks to all the above…slight hitch yesterday - I went to have a “how to give myself an injection” meeting with practice nurse and asked her to check blood pressure as have been feeling slightly off…177/100! So, I’ll need to tackle that first before starting Peg.

sorry to hear about you swollen tum. Hope that gets sorted soon. I didn’t start taking Peg as bp too high. I’ve got to track bp for a week and then see doc. Let us know how you get on xx
