That is a nice PLT response n a very short time. It sounds like you are tolerating the 90mcg dose with some minor side effects. Wishing you success in this stage of your journey. Looking forward to the next report of your progress.

sounds good Jody . I had to reduce my dose as had bad headaches but feel this drug is good & easier than tablets as Hydroxy creased my digestive tract & body hated it.

Interferon I get really cold I can almost feel the change an hour after injection . 24 hrs very shivery then ok 👍. I do get those strange fluttering s you mention which seem to reduce as the drug is in body longer . I will ask the cause on my next blood checks . Julia 👌

Seems that I have read a lot of people start on 45 mcg weekly and some 45 mcg every two weeks before increasing dosage.

Please keep updating us as a lot of us taking HU are very interested in Pegasys experiences.

Best wishes, Eileen
