Pegylated Interferon available in Australia?
Hi guys, I’m from Melbourne, Aus. Can someone let me know if pegysus (pegylated interferon) is available in Australia? I’ve been finding conflicting information online. I’m seeing a new specialist tomorrow to talk about changing from HU to interferon, but I’m feeling nervous that I may not have access

Problems with the sun/heat

Encouraging trial results re MF
Trial result of Peginterferon combined with Ruxo. Worked especially well for early stage MF patients although side effects/20% discontinuation rate a concern. Remember Ropeg is around the corner which should reduce Interferon related side effects. “Follow‐up was 12 months. Partial remission (PR) and

A nasty inconvenience or a monster, you choose
G'day I hope your nights sleep was good and your day is going well. I feel today you may be in need of a slight explanation. Twenty years ago I went to my first ever ms group meeting, I was 29 very newly diagnosed ad quite frankly terrified. I went into the lunch and saw a room full of ladies in wheelchairs

VonWillebrand and Pegasys Interferon
Hi Everyone, I recently saw a specialist in NYC. At the appointment they said I should remain on my baby aspirin a day and wouldn't need treatment until I was older for my ET (CALR+) (I am 41) This week they called back saying that my Von Willbrand factor was on the low end and wanted to start treatment

Hydroxy intolerant - Pegylated Interferon next?
I am just wondering if I should try Pegylated Interferon because I have been so debilitated by the hydroxy and fed up of my haema telling me it's nothing to do with the drug or the condition. I'm ET and JAK2 and intolerant to many drugs associated with blood, except clopidogrel, which I have been taking

My TSH is apparently in the abnormal range at 0.24. Does this mean i am being over medicated?
I became hypothyroid after receiving treatement for hep C in 2009. The interferon injections, which boost the body's immune system to kill of the virus, unfortunately also attacked my thyroid. I thought i felt so ill due to the treatment, but when they finally checked my thyroid, my TSH was 86.1! I was

Interferon vs viral drugs - side effects/ experiences/impact on every day life

Ramblings on Pre-PMF and early stage MF
There have been multiple threads recently on Pre-PMF and early stage MF. My very limited understanding is that Pre-MF can be hard to distinguish, even via BMB, from ET. My original BMB was plain ET, a second BMB 15 months later produced one dx of ET and another of PV/MPN-U (I had two cores taken, sent

Travel with Interferon plus other things
I was diagnosed with CALR ET two years ago and was on Hydroxrea and the last 6 weeks have been on Pegasys. I have a couple of queries: When you travel with the injections and they need to be kept cool how have you done this? Someone suggested a small car fridge, someone else said a cool bag with ice

First Treatment of Peg
Hey guys! So I had my first jab yesterday 45mcg, platelets at 1072. I had no initial reaction to the interferon jab, and after 30 mins of sitting in the clinic I left feeling nicely stoned. Within about 20 mins I was really hot but this subsided and I reached home in good form. I’ve had some side effects

Ropeginterferon
Interesting Presentation by Dr Verstovsek on the 24 months results for Ropeginterferon versus HU. Results have been known for several months but this Presentation fills in the detail. Looks very promising and the three year results now eagerly anticipated. At end year 2, Ropeg (after a slow start) has
