Possible side effects of interferon?
Hi all, I am 34 with ET. I started Pegasys at 45mcg per week about 2 months ago and for the most part I haven’t noticed obvious side effects. However in the last few weeks I’ve noticed pain in my hips, I think it’s muscular rather than in the actual joint. It tends to hurt sharply upon certain movements

Jury summons.
So I’ve just been asked to do jury service. I live in north west London and it would be at courts in south east London which are over an hour away on the tube. I’ve not been on public transport for 18 months, apart from a few times. I don’t think I even went on the tube in rush hour pre pandemic so

What are your thoughts about Interferon Vs. Hydroxurea?
I’ve been reading different studies about this and most of them says Interferon is advisable for younger patients and for pregnancy but current practice is using Hydrea as a first line of defense instead of Interferon? I would love to hear your experience about this. I’m still on a low-dose aspirin

Night Sweats
Hi everyone, I am looking for some feedback on night sweats. 42 years old (live in Ireland), diagnosed with ET in 2017, progressed to MF in 2020. Been having horrendous night sweats since February 2018. Under the care of Haematologist I have tried Jakafi, HU, and Interferon, none of which had any impact

years ago and that is enough needles for this lifetime. “YOU” on the other hand may well want to consider it strongly. It is only two infusions a year I believe.

Peg Interferon and flu jab
Hi All, I was offered the flu jab this year and decided I wanted to have it. However, now I’m wondering whether it’s ok to get it with Interferon. The leaflet of Interferon states that live vaccinations should not be given with the medication and I believe the flu vaccine isn’t live? I haven’t had any
