Switched from Peg to Bes 3 weeks ago and had my first panels taken last week (although I am on quarterly reads at the moment, MPN doc wants to have reads after first 3 Bes doses to see if anything changes vs Peg)...
First results were great...all results (CBC, liver function, inflammation, glucose) were WNL with platelets at 320..not super surprised as imagine residual effect from Peg still likely also playing a role (last Peg was 5 weeks ago)....
Only outlier was that kidney function was down a little - but hoping it is because I have not been hydrating as much as usual (just have not been hitting the water like I usually do but now re-doubling efforts which is a little more difficult in the winter season)...
Currently on 70mg of Bes bi-weekly (was on 90 of Peg bi-weekly). Hoping pattern continues (and kidneys shoot back up)....now not likely to re-test AB until end of year (had contemplated doing it in June after about 3 years on Peg but my doc now wants to wait until either I am back on Peg or we have longer time on Bes)...
