Hi All,
I've been on hydroxy for 3 years and gained a belly and 4kg over that period...grrr! As someone who always works hard to remain slim and fit, I find this change too challenging and would like to try a better control drug for my platelets. As they are now very normal, I would like to think my specialist would be receptive to my need. The first time I asked he balked at the thought.
The alternative drug in Australia is the injection Pegasys (also on our PBS - hence low cost), which I would like to try. Could anyone who made this switch please give me an idea of their success or4 otherwise, especially weight. The latter is my only drawback re continuing with the hydroxy. It's just too hard to continue on with this frustration.
Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
Anna
