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.

Pegasys results
So I have now completed my first 4 weeks on Peg Interferon and am pleased to report that my platelets dropped lower than ever before 😊 My results this week were a very respectable 460 (down from 820) so we carry on with 45 MCG a week for the next 4 weeks. Not an easy 4 weeks but hopefully the end results

Post 536 side effects 8 Oct 2019
Side effects, what are "YOU" willing to put up with? Seriously, what? I put up with headaches, painful injections and a basic feeling of crap for years on interferon Beta 1B(Betaseron). Even worse for my month on Rebif Interferon Beta 1A. None on Tecfidera, and it is a tablet so no needles.

CURCUMIN? – IS IT THE NEXT BEST THING...?
Post by MPN-MATE Admin » Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:29 am Hey all my MPN colleagues & friends... Thought that you might all enjoy a quick scan of this article on Curcumin, that seems to suggest that its powers might be just what the Pharmacist decided not to order... because it is possible much less expensive
