Skin Treatments for Cancer Patients
As the body’s first line protection against sunlight, chemicals, and contagious germs, the skin is one of the parts of the body most generally affected by cancer treatments.

'Watch and wait'
Hi all I was diagnosed with PV, Jak2+ in 2014. Since then I've just been on aspirin and venesections when needed. Other than that, I'm checked every three months by the haematologist. So, it's basically a policy of 'watch and wait'. Just recently I've been reading a few articles from doctors advising

M.A.S. Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome
Diagnosed with MS in 2000, I injected betaseron then rebif then finally avonex for 9 years. My body began rejecting the interferons, injection sites were even leaking. I had no place left to poke. I then opted to stop treatment and go as healthy natural as I could. I found Charlotte's Web CBD oil

FIRST LINE PV SURVEY
We want to hear patients’ views on a new study for patients with polycythaemia vera (PV). Researchers in the UK have teamed up with those in France to design a study for patients with PV who need a drug to lower their blood count. We propose to test Ruxolitinib (a JAK inhibitor approved in MF and patients

Lady DI - I am new to this site .
I was diagnosed with MS 23 years ago. I have had many Exacerbation 's & have used all the Injectable Medications over the years. I can't use Interferons anymore because it gave me Liver Disease. I have even done Novantrone Chemotherapy for 3 1/2 years & had 4 treatments of Tysabri when it first came

What is your OTC Painkiller of choice for Migraine (UK)?
As we know, for some of us nothing really works to take away the pain - after years of trial and error with meds. Been through the spectrum of painkillers. By far I find the most effective to be Alka Seltzer, the effect of the aspirin and effervescence does offer *some* relief. That is, only if it's

Weight gains & chest pains???
Hey guys... :) It's been almost 5 calendar months since I first learned of my MPN, and what has become increasingly disturbing is my weight gain over this period. I have now gained circa 8kg bringing my mass index to 123kg. This is the heaviest weight I have ever experienced in my short life... (57)

Hi People, This is my story. I am not sure how I contracted Hep C. When I was a teen, I was going to a Halloween party. My sister was helping me with my clown makeup.Next thing I know she was screaming for my mother to look at my eyes. They were bright yellow, also known as Jaundice. I was taken to Walter

Platelets 890, Hcrit 0.49, Low Iron. Treatment options?
I'm posting because I've had a search and can't seem to find many people in a similar situation. I'm only 24, reasonably fit, no other conditions and don't smoke. I used to be in the low risk group but apparently now with high Hcrit and platelets I've been bumped to high risk and they want to start me

Et treatment options
Hi All, I am 46 and have ET jak2+ . I was diag 6 years ago and my platelets have stayed around 600-700. Treatment has been low dose aspirin up to now. Unfortunately 3 months ago I had severe chest pain, went to my local A&E and had lots of tests. The blood results indicated potential pulmonary embolism

Will leaving the eu affect our access to myeloproliferative medication?
I have been wondering about this all day. I am on pegasus interferon which is produced in the EU. I understand it is an expensive injection and not always a first choice for MPN patients. Will the NHS still be able to keep hold of it or will it cost them more to receive it from the EU? I am worried

1 rare disease apparently isn't enough! And considering Interferon
Hi all, I had another appointment yesterday which fell at rather good timing as some of my symptoms were returning, mostly fatigue. Platelet count only at 460 but was down to 230 on Anagrelide. So it's doubled in during the month of not being on Anagrelide. The first 3 weeks I felt amazing but have

Anyone with hep c who is thinking of starting a hep c cure. I think this is important to you all.
Yhi I hope this will b read as it could save lives. I have had hep c for 20yrs, no idea how. However I have been with a very good specialist & his team of nurses are lovely. I did have a course of ribavrin & interferon, all seemed well but it didn't cure it. A few yrs down the line we tried again with
