After diagnoses of PV/ET, how long did it take for blood counts to stabilize?
Diagnosed around 11 months ago, currently on daily Aspirin and Interferon Alpha 4 times a week. My consultant has confirmed my counts are slow to stabilize but they were going in the correct direction. Had a blood test this week and some of the counts are creeping up again, I just managed to avoid

Interferon negative side effects personal research

Does anyone know where in the body interferon reduces the platelet count?
Because interferon, hydroxycarbamide, anagrelide et. aren't cures, I think the bone marrow makes just as many platelets as ever, but by the time the blood is extracted and tested the platelet count is reduced to show a normal amount. Where does the reduction occur---in the bone marrow, the tissues, the

Does Anyone Know Where in the Body Interferon Reduces the Platelet Count?
Because interferon, hydroxycarbamide etc. aren't cures, I think the bone marrow makes as many platelets as ever, but somewhere before blood is taken out and tested for the platelet count the platelets have been reduced in number. Is this done in the bone marrow or the tissues or the liver or where?

Anagrelide and interferon?
I was wondering if anyone has been prescribed anagrelide and intereron at the same time? I started on Pegasys fairly recently but it isn't controlling my platelets on its own and so I have been taking hydroxycarbamide as well. This was a short term measure because I don't get on very well with the HU

Has anyone using Interferon had a dry red/pink rash on body?
I've had this for over a week now, not sure if its related to PV/Interferon.

Starting interferon soon - can anyone share their experiences please?
I am now officially part of the MAJIC trial but was allocated best available therapy rather than ruxolitinib. However, because I am suffering horrendous mouth ulcers while taking hydroxycarbamide, I am going to be taking interferon as from 14th February. I have been given some information by the hospital

Hello! Well, today is January 24th and I am just completing my 16th week of treatment. I started on October 4th and did 12 weeks of Incivek with the Riba and Interferon. I am now just on the Riba and Interferon. Since the Incivek ended, I have had absolutely no side effects from the other drugs
