I had a phone consultation with my hematologist yesterday and asked him about switching from hydroxyurea to
interferon
. I really appreciated peoples replies about their experiences switching from hydroxyurea to
interferon
.

Meralgia paraesthetica?
Does anyone else on
interferon
also suffer with this? Mine only comes on when I’m out walking and I didn’t have it before I started on
interferon
. My right leg goes numb in the upper thigh area and I lose sensation.

Interferon injections
Hi folks, Wanted to know,am about to go on
interferon
injections as my iron count is 3.4 & ferritin count is 16. I feel fine but wondered how the injections are going for those taking it and what side effects are mostly common. Many thanks 😊

Raising Awareness for Polycythemia Vera is Key in Increasing Overall Survival
At least in this study for patients on
interferon
long term, there was no excess mortality from polycythemia vera, whereas the other patients who did not receive
interferon
, although they did not have access early mortality, they did have access late mortality, suggesting that
interferon
can put patients

Anyone on Interferon for 5 years or more??
I take HU for PV, 72yo, good control so far, but I am wondering if I should switch to
Interferon
for the possible long term advantages? Any comments, both good and bad would be appreciated. Best to all.

Pegasys - Withdrawal side effects in the days prior to injection
The only explanation I can think of for this is that they're a sort of withdrawal response, as the level of
Interferon
in my body is slowly reducing in the few days leading up to my next injection.

interferon and psoriasis
morning I have an appointment with haematology at St James hospital Leeds this week to discuss changing from hydroxia to
interferon
. Comments have already been made that there is a risk of more side effects due to age (71) and that it can effect psoriasis.

Peginterferon with Anagrelide?
Until about 6 mths ago I was taking a mixture of Hydrea and Anagrelide but it was no longer working so well so I switched to
interferon
. I’m on the max dose of 180 weekly but platelets are still 650ish and as an active person I’m struggling with the tiredness and fatigue.

Questions about switching from hydroxyurea to interferon
From my understanding, which is very limited,
interferon
can actually cause remission which is what I would like. From the little bit of reading I’ve done I understand that I would have to stay on a dosage of hydroxyurea while the
interferon
begins to take effect.

Peg jab
It was a breeze although the only slight problem encountered was wrenching the caps off the needle and the
interferon
containers. They were screwed on very tightly.

Besremi
Is Besremi also an
interferon
medication? In Australia we only have access to hydroxyurea or Pegasys.

Interferon and alcohol interaction
I've never drunk heavily (would drink on average twice a week, and up to 2 glasses of wine or a few beers per time) but since starting
interferon
, even drinking just 1 glass of wine is unpleasant! It makes me feel lightheaded, nauseous and as though the room is spinning.

Interferon possible side effects
I am currently undergoing tests to rule out other causes but wondering if it may be the
interferon
causing this?
