Enlarged Spleen
Additional medicines such as
Interferon
and Thalidomide are suggested to complement the Ruxolitinib. Radiology is an option or in the worst case, having the Spleen removed surgically. I have a telephone consultation on the 19th April and will discuss the options.

Interferon Injection
Over five weeks ago I have been placed on
Interferon
Alpha Injections. At this moment I am only taking half the dosage . Then I have to change the needle the following week and use the other half of the dosage. The needle is slightly larger than the normal needle that is in the packet.

Asthma may heighten flu risk and cause dangerous mutations.
Evidence suggests that influenza virus variants are more prevalent in pregnant and/or obese individuals due to their impaired
interferon
response. We have recently shown that the non-allergic, paucigranulocytic subtype of asthma is associated with impaired type I
interferon
production.

Treatment options, location.
Does anyone have a definitive list of counties in the UK that prescribe peg
interferon
on the NHS without having to aquire funding. It's a lottery as to whether you can access this drug depending on where you live.

Interferon therapy in the management of myeloproliferative neoplasms
Time on treatment analysis demonstrated that every year on
interferon
reduced the risk of progression to myelofibrosis (MF) by 9% (HR 0.91 [95% CI, 0.87–0.95]; p < 0.001), and was associated with a mortality risk reduction by 6% per year (HR 0.94 [95% CI, 0.90–0.99]; p < 0.012).
