PV side effects and denied Pegasus Interferon
Hello! Now this one is just for the ladies! I am not too sure if it is a side effect but i keep getting irregular periods and they are really getting me down now! Did anyone else get these?? I've been checked out for all sorts and have nothing but PV so I think it must be down to that as my periods have

Are all my symptoms Hep C related or is it something else?
Last November I had a liver review with my Consultant re. my Hep C. For various personal reasons I cannot commit to treatment and am hoping for a new drug for Genotype 3 that doesn't contain interferon to come along before I pop my clogs. I took a list of all my worsening symptoms and was sent for an

Interferon 2a or Pegasys----how different are they regarding effect on the body and possible molecular remission?
Hi everyone, I am 74 years old, have ET, Jak2 and exon12 negative. I have been on interferon 2a for 2 1/2 years and am sick of having painful legs and lower back. My bloods are normal, platelets 250-300. I would like to stop the meds but haem is reluctant. Would there be any point in switching to Pegasys

Hi The meds we are taking affect the bone. Has anyone noticed any changes in their joints / bone structure? I am on Pegylated Inteferon and I think I am noticing some changes but cannot be 100% sure. Sherry.

Peg interferon versus interferon alpha. I've read that interferon alpha can have an effect on the thyroid.
Is there any medical evidence that peg interferon is a better alternative if this is shown to be a side effect of interferon alpha? Has anyone else had the experience of changing types of interferon?

Is anyone with PV on interferon?
I had a stroke last year and was diagnosed with PV. I have been on hydroxycarbamide for the past 18 months which has been no problem, apart from mouth ulcers, but I have felt great. Because I am relatively young, my consultant has advised me to change to interferon alpha within the next couple of weeks
