HepC, alcohol and drugs
This past week was terribly heart breaking for me. My friend, my best friend for 8 years Royal Whitehead was lost this week. He had had HepC, probably jailhouse tattoo infected close to 30 years ago but refuse the old interferon treatment. When in 2012, the year I joined the Hepatitis C Family and Friends

Got my letter too..!
Looks like the NHS have finally got down to M for MPN as many of us have now had our ‘extremely vulnerable’ letters..! I’m not 100% convinced that well-controlled ET with Pegasys really makes me vulnerable (hoping interferon might actually give some protection!) but will follow the advice anyway - it

I have Covid 19 - I’ m worried about taking my Peg medication.
I thought I’d been so careful, shielding, not allowing friends and family to visit. Have food delivery & detol spraying everything delivered. I had a few Amazon deliveries, again told the delivery man to leave parcels in the summer house & sprayed Detol on the contents, then washed my hands and threw

Injection video
I saw a video on here that Maz posted. It showed a woman injecting interferon. My 18yr old son does not need medicine (other than daily aspirin-ET JAK 2+), but I was telling him about the video. He asked to see it, but now I can’t find it. I’ve done a search with injection, interferon etc. Does anyone

Severe Tinnitus : hydroxycarbamide vs interferon
Hello everybody, I hope some of you can help me with an answer... I have had PV for over 30 years, JAK2 positive, clopidogrel, flebotomies. Seven years ago I got tinnitus which then was at a very disturbing but livable level: the last month it has increased to a quite unbearable. Since also my hematocrit

Who decides on high risk or not?
Hi all I have seen all the posts and am as confused as most of you to know if I will be receiving a letter or not? I have managed to speak to my haematology team this morning and they have advised me that it’s your local GP who puts together the list with NHSE and the haematology team don’t send out

The unknown
Hi all These times are very worrying and confusing for us all I am seeing all the chats and coming up with the conclusion that us with a MPN are none the wiser as to us being in the high risk group or not. Some say it seems to depend on your own areas specialists or GP to decide, some seem to think

can corona symptoms be different if on medication?
Hi can you have different symptoms if on medication for ET? I am on interferon and have had a dry throat for the last couple of days but no cough? I am also experiencing a slight pain in the centre of my chest? Does interferon have affects on the virus if contracted? Thanks

European clinical trial starts on possible coronavirus treatments.
A European clinical trial involving some 3,200 people has been launched to test four possible experimental treatments against the coronavirus, AFP reports. The four treatments to be studied are remdesivir, lopinavir and ritonavir in combination, the latter being administered with or without interferon

Post 585 Take your time 8 Jan 2020
I like "YOU" had it easy in the sense that there was only one medicine available to me, so taking it was easy no decision, just like it is for "YOU" For me back then,
Interferon
Beta
1B
. For you today, Ocrevus. Do not worry about the rest, it is the strongest, and that is what "YOU" want.

Updated x2: NAC May Mitigate Coronavirus Severity, also Potential Risks
I wrote about a study indicating that NAC is beneficial in Parkinson's here: https://healthunlocked.com/parkinsonsmovement/posts/133771398/nac-demonstrated-beneficial-in-pd That benefit may have been due to NAC administered by the IV route. The idea that NAC may mitigate coronavirus severity is based

I did learn when I was taking
Interferon
Beta
1b
that it was best to inject into a fatty part of my body. For years my Mother gave me a needle in the butt. I even had to ask my Uncle once to inject me. Not easy for him, I am sure, but I did not miss my shoot.

Diagnosis Update
Thought I’d come on and give an update as not been on here since my initial diagnosis. My ET Jak2 positive was upgraded to Prefibrotic myelofibrosis after having a bone marrow biopsy some months ago. I opted for Peg interferon Alfa and am coping really well on it. Platelets are now around the 290 mark

Coronavirus infection and medication for cardiovascular disease
Given the recent publication in the Lancet medical journal which questions whether the severity of COVID-19 is greater in patients taking ACE inhibitors, please as a matter of urgency could the BHF obtain empirical data from China or Italy to determine whether this is the case. The NNT for ACE inhibitors
