Extremely worried about the value of IL-6 and IL-8 explored, what should I do?
I'm 34 years old only, and have been in MF3 since 2017 diagnosed. Very bad state I was megalosplenia when I diagnosed. Now I take Ruxolitinib 7.5mg/bid /day and interferon per several days. The hemogram was controlled lower than normal, especially platelet. I have taken Ruxolitinib for 3 years, obviously

Switched from Hydroxyurea to Pegylated Interferon (PEGASYS)
Hi, I'm wanting to hear from people who have changed treatments. I'm especially keen to know what doses you were taking of HU and what doses of PI. I have polycythemia vera with JAK2 variant. I was diagnosed sometime ago. Maybe 7 years. Have had various treatments including venesection, interferon alpha

Change to Interferon - feeling awful
Hi friends I am on my third week of interferon and I am feeling awful. I still have the big red blotches on my stomach but I also feel very swimmy and dizzy all the time to the point I feel I am going to fall. I have racing heartbeats, waking every hour with terrible joint pain which I had with Hydroxy

Any IL-6 inhibitor or IL6 receptor inhibitor situation and Liver total protein issue
I would like to ask whether there are such patients with myelofibrosis. Even if they take Ruxolitinib, and take interferon at the same time. The total protein in the biochemistry of the liver continues to decline slowly. This decline is continuous and may be the trend of slow decline for several years

Side effects of PEG
In discussing the pros/cons of moving from Hydroxy Urea to PEG Interferon, my MPN specialist citied one side effect of PEG as the possibility of activating latent autoimmune diseases that could be “brewing” in one’s system such as rheumatoid arthritis. This really surprised me as I thought the only side

Interferon Rash
Hi guys I am on my second weekly injection of Interferon. When I went to inject into my tummy area I noticed the site of my first injection was a red circular rash. It wasn’t itchy or sore, just a red rash. I injected on the other side of my tummy this time and sure enough a red rash appeared. The

ET - Pregnancy
I’m new to forum. Diagnosed in 2017 with ET, JAK2+. Baby aspirin. Recently had my check 6 month review and all ok. My platelets are stable at ~850. We’re trying for another baby, which is a rollercoaster in itself. I don’t know anyone’s pregnancy that was quite so complicated as mine. Seems quite daunting

Breathlessness

Booster shots?
Hi all, I’m curious on the consensus regarding a third booster shot given the recent recommendation for the immunosuppressed. Does ET treated with the max interferon dose count, do you think? I am thinking that it is better to err on the side of caution and get one. I would love to hear of any recommendations

Two Questions. Interferon and JAK %
Had by 3 monthly consultation yesterday, bloods all ok, but my cough is still there.. The consultants are unaware of any possible link to interferon and have referred me back to my GP, the GP has ordered a chest X ray, clear, changed my BP pills, so he has very little else to go on... The consultants
