I used to suffer from joint pains, back, leg, occasionally hip. Diagnosed ET (Calr+) about 15 months ago and prescribed Peg. Interferon. Well, for the past few months, I’ve not experienced any joint pains whatsoever. Is this just coincidental or would that be the effect of interferon? Views welcome!

It is possible that the interferon is helping. In addition to overproduction of blood cells, MPNs can cause an overproduction of inflammatory cytokines. It may be that the IFN is helping in this area. Conversely, the IFNs can cause arthralgia. It sounds like you may have had a positive rather than negative outcome with your joint pain. A very good outcome!
Very pleased to hear the aches and pains have disappeared. Maybe peg has reduced any inflammation. Fascinating to hear. Some aches of mine have improved and some like the knees seem to steadily get worse but of course that could just be down to age
