Had JAK2 ET for 15 years now, with no symptoms and only being treated with Venesections. It is now changing to Myeloid Fibrosis, still with no symptoms - but nows the time to start taking Interferon to manage it . Wondering what people’s experience of taking this is

Post 575 You are responsible for you 16 Dec 2019 2
Not everybody wants to hear it, and not everybody wants to believe it. It is much easier to blame something or somebody else, but. My Relapsing-Relapsing ms (RRms) sibling for the most part, "YOU" are to blame\resposible for your life with this illness. Getting it, none of us is responsible for

Availability of Interferon Scotland
I am currently on Pegylated Interferon and we are considering moving to Scotland, and wondered if this drug is readily available in hospitals there. I know that not all hospitals here in England provide it and hence the question regarding Scotland. Whilst this is a general query about Scotland we have

Post 585 Take your time 8 Jan 2020
That does seem to be an obvious statement, but I will say it again. Take your time. "YOU" have just been diagnosed (Dx'd) with Relapsing-Remitting ms (RRms), "YOU" have tears to shed brick walls to kick and the sky to yell at. Give it everything that "YOU" can muster. Let the scientist on the space station

Pegasys and breast feeding
Hi all, After some advice... I think that pegasys and breast feeding is contra indicated but I also think that peg is not fully approved in pregnancy? I injected interferon throughout pregnancy and thankfully all went well. I now need to start taking it again. I'm currently breast feeding and would

Post 582 Medicines 3 Jan 2020
What are your expectations when "YOU" take a medicine? Any medicine not merely Disease-Modifying Therapy (DMT). Ask yourself again, this time really think about your answer. I take my medicines and with the exception of aspirins, my expectatio nare very low. I do not count on medicine doing very much

Positive effect of interferon alpha 2b???
I have been struggling with pelvic pain for 2 years... My idea of its origin is the pelvic inflammatory disease from an unidentified pathogen (20% of cases, although u. urealiticum was isolated from urine at one point). It was a classical case - I was not dressed appropriately for the surrounding temperature

Change from Interferon to Pegasys
At last my trust has approved the change from basic Interferon to Pegasys. I have only been allowed standard Interferon for the past year, but the last few months my platlets have risen from 350 to nearly 700, and I have had to increase my injections to every other day. My heamo wants me to start Pegasys

Hydroxy to Pegasys switch
Hello - couldn’t find this on a search and wonder if you can help. Here’s the context: Partner is 33, ET triple negative with acquired Von willebrand on 1.5mg hydroxy a day after heart attack and platelets approaching 2m. All under control now after a lot of time adjusting the dose. We’re thinking of

Dr Silver update re PV/MF and Interferons
https://youtu.be/XGEAlov50mY Well worth watching. Dr Silver has used INF as first choice line of attack for over 20 years, hence significant experience re efficacy although critics argue that limited clinical data. He believes that patients should start INF as early into their disease as possible

Once a week recombinant interferon injections
This is interesting ... I was having 3 x standard interferon injections per week and stopped taking it for 5 weeks when I couldn't handle the side effects any more. Had specialist appt & decided to trial once a week from 27.10.19. Platelet counts were 311 then went up to 461. After a month of weekly

Alternative treatments for Busulfan
My wife was diagnosed with E.T. five and half years ago, she is 78 and lives in the UK. At the time, the main treatments were Hydroxycarbamide, followed by Anagrelide and Busulfan as a last resort. She was first treated with Hydrox but the side effects were severe and she was then treated with Anagrelide

Interferon and Hydroxea
I visited an ET specialist who has recommended I keep waiting for Interferon to kick in ( I’ve been injecting for six months with limited results) and add in Hydroxea to bring my platelets down quickly due to symptoms. What are your experiences of taking both at the same time? I’d be grateful to hear

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.
