Prof Harrison, interferons and disease progression
Very useful video including Prof Harrison discussing Ropeg (Pegasys should offer similar results) and the correlation between reducing JAK2 AB and slowing down disease progression. This is the first ‘evidence’ that interferons can impact progression https://mpninfo.org/category/video-library/

Hair loss
I am horrified by the amount of hair loss since starting on hydrocarbamide in April. Since this is a life long treatment it will only get worse. Would switching to interferon make any difference any ladies out there for any advice I don't want to be a badly woman.

New hope to cure patients with MPNs
« Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of blood cancers that are maintained by stem cell populations. In this issue of JEM, Dagher et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20201268) combine arsenic and interferon α to deliver a knockout punch to MPN stem cells and provide new hope to cure patients

Experience on interferon.
Hi. My partner has hep B and the consultant has been advising on treatment and suggested interferon. He is concerned about the side effects especially in light of his job as a driver. I appreciate everyone is different but please can you let me know of experience on interferon treatment. Thanks.

Question for those taking PEG Interferon
I started on PEG Interferon at start of the year injecting 135mcg (it’s been slow at reducing levels) to treat my JAK2 PV. Have noticed that recently, I have been having some “fuzzy” (don’t know how best to term it) moments, where I could be in mid conversation and then I cannot tell what the other

Jak2 allele burden results
31%. I have had PV since 2005 and been on Interferon most of the time. Logically I think 31% is good. In fact great. Am I right? Should I dance for joy? I haven't got the medical knowledge to relate it to the bigger picture. I may get more info when I see the consultant but I thought I would ask

Allele burden results on Pegasys
After 22 months on Pegasys my Jak2 allele burden has gone from 28% 4 years ago to 24% today. I have pmf and control my blood counts with Pegasys. My counts have been normal for about a year and a half, with the exception of monocytes, which run high. I thought that some people might be interested in

Tinitous with PV and pegelated interferon?!
Has anyone else developed pulsatile tinitous while in their journey with PV w/ JAK2? I'm not sure if it's the PV or the interferon treatment... Any advice or experiences?? Also lack of sleep is something I'm suffering with!?

Research hints antiviral interferon could help some patients
The common thread in the research is the lack of a substance called interferon that helps orchestrate the body’s defense against viral pathogens and can be infused to treat conditions. Now, increasing evidence suggests that a significant minority of Covid-19 patients get very ill because of an impaired

Dizziness
Hello. I am 64 and diagnosed with PV 5 months ago. Have been injecting with Pegasus interferon for 4 months. Initially I appeared to have minimal side effects, but over the past few weeks have been having increasing periods of dizziness and a fuzzy head. Does anyone else recognise this side affect? Thank

Researchers discover how COVID-19 may trigger fatal levels of lung inflammation.
Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, requires models that can duplicate disease development in humans, identify potential targets and enable drug testing. Specifically, access to primary human lung in vitro model systems is a priority since a variety of respiratory
