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

Tired so very very tired.
this is the first time I've ever done this before so bear with me if it's a bit long winded and not fluid. Is this how someone with bachets feels? Somedays I feel like my body is stone in treacle and I'm trying to move but can't. I get angry with myself upset and annoyed it makes no difference I still
