Post 567 Newbies and newbies 21 Nov 2019
Newbies new diagnosed. An obvious position to be in and rather self-explanatory, but the big question is when does it end? Is there a time when I am not a newbie, when am I something else, when do I start to just live with Relapsing-Remitting ms (RRms)? There is no timeline, and there is no set

Dukoral - Cholera Vaccine
I just took my first dose of Dukoral. I will wait a week to take the second dose. A friend of mine who lives outside of Detroit Michigan went over to Windsor and made the purchase and had no problem crossing the border with it. He declared it as an over the counter diarrhea med. The agent laughed

Travelling with Interferon
Does anyone know if Frio cooling insulated packs are suitable for keeping interferon injections cool whilst travelling. I noe that Interferon data sheet says to store at 2 - 8 C whereas the Frio products just guarantee a temperature of 18 to 25 C, a vast difference.

Polycythaemia Vera
Hi, I'm new to this, but it has been recommended by one of my haematologist doctors. I'm a 54 year old male who was diagnosed with Polycythaemia Vera, Exon 12 strain some 4 years ago now. It has been controlled with first asprin, now clopidogrel due to chronic acid indigestion. I have venesections when

Pegasys results
So I have now completed my first 4 weeks on Peg Interferon and am pleased to report that my platelets dropped lower than ever before 😊 My results this week were a very respectable 460 (down from 820) so we carry on with 45 MCG a week for the next 4 weeks. Not an easy 4 weeks but hopefully the end results

Post 536 side effects 8 Oct 2019
Side effects, what are "YOU" willing to put up with? Seriously, what? I put up with headaches, painful injections and a basic feeling of crap for years on interferon Beta 1B(Betaseron). Even worse for my month on Rebif Interferon Beta 1A. None on Tecfidera, and it is a tablet so no needles.

CURCUMIN? – IS IT THE NEXT BEST THING...?
Post by MPN-MATE Admin » Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:29 am Hey all my MPN colleagues & friends... Thought that you might all enjoy a quick scan of this article on Curcumin, that seems to suggest that its powers might be just what the Pharmacist decided not to order... because it is possible much less expensive

Interferon and ears!
This is probably a daft question but is there any link with interferon and eustachian tube dysfunction?

Pegasys - possibly closer to slowing progression than anything else?
Hopefully this is not an irresponsible header since may raise false hopes, especially for those who can not tolerate Pegasys. However the quote is from a highly respected MPN specialist today. I saw him about 18 months ago and asked, if you were me, would you start Pegasys (I was coping on venesections

My update, for mouth sores test.
Hi all, I saw the oncologist yesterday, and after testing where my mouth sores were coming from, over the past two months, they took me off Hydroxycarbomide and as the mouth sores have virtually disappeared, have decided that was the cause. So now, no more Hydroxycarbomide but in two weeks time I will

"Dry skin" and Pegasys
Many people here report that Pegasys gives them dry skin. No doubt this is often true because Pegasys has a GIGANTIC range of side-effects. But I wanted to call attention to something else Pegasys does which could be confused with dry skin. Pegasys is a recombinant alpha interferon (IFN-α) and as

Two side effects from Pegasys
Now that I've been on the Pegasys (45 mcg/ml) for 5 weeks I'm fighting two major side effects - itching and anxiety/restlessness and I'm wondering what others have learned. 1. Itching. Because itching (pruritis) is a common effect of PCV many patients think it's from the PCV. But the research literature
