My 12 week results......
I do my injection of
Interferon
on Thursday nights. This will be my 14th needle and that means I only have 10 left!!!! I should mention that the whole process of injecting myself with the
Interferon
and the after-affects have been a non-issue for me.

My FibroScan results.......Great News!!!!!!
I continue to have little to no side effects from the drugs (Riba and
Interferon
). I have lots of energy, feel wonderful, sleep like a baby and I feel as good, if not better, than before I started treatment. I have been Undetected since week 4 of treatment and on week 8 and 12, still Undetected.

Time to tell my story
Moved to
interferon
then infliximab. During this time I had many addmissions for lengthy periods up to 3mths.

Went for my 12 week check.....
I will continue with the Riba and
Interferon
for the next 3 months. I just believe that when the Incivek ends, I am going to feel so much better. We'll see...... I had my bloodwork done after my visit with Carla. Unfortunately I won't get the results until some time in the New Year.

Tired so very very tired.
The consent steroids, antibiotics, blood thinning injections, and countless other drugs not to mention the
interferon
jab is getting too much day in day out. As you may have figured there's other health issues on too. Is this the norm and am I just feeling sorry for my self??

My 8 Week Check-Up
The only thing that will still cause me some "discomfort" is the time after my injection of
Interferon
. This is the drug that really does a number on you. Just to let you know, we produce
Interferon
naturally in our bodies.

Just saying Hello....
From what I understand it is mostly from the injected
Interferon
. This is pretty powerful stuff and most people get this sickness for about 2 days after the injection. I do my injection on Thursday evening and usually Friday and Saturday are rough days.

My 4 week checkup
Tonight was my 5th needle injection of the
Interferon
. I have no problems giving myself this injection. It is simple and painless. I should also say that I don't seem to have any of the sx associated with the
Interferon
injection itself....which is very good.

Pain in legs
I've been on
interferon
for the last 6years with not many side effects other than tiredness, but for the last month or say i've been experiencing this pain in my legs! Also the site's where I inject the
interferon
have started to become very damaged and the muscle has started to sink in?!

Having more sides....
I looked this up on the internet and discovered that one of the side effects of the
Interferon
is joint pain. I found out that if you have a history of joint pain (DBD, arthritis, etc.) the
Interferon
can make it worse. That is exactly what is happening with me.

Congratulation to people with hepatitis c Your CURED !!
Those patients did not take
interferon
or ribavirin. Shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb rose 84 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $33.93. Hepatitis C is a virus that can lead to life-threatening liver damage and is the main cause of liver transplants in the U.S.

Interferon causing hypothyroidism: Experience of taking additional thyroid medication
I have been taking
interferon
for ET for nearly 2 years. Recently I realised I was feeling quite unwell with a raft of poor quality of life stuff going on.

The Beginning of Treatment 2006
My medication is PEGASYS* (
interferon
) and COPEGUS* (ribavirin) One needle a week and six pills a day. Other meds were Tylenol Ultra as needed for headaches; not more than four a day; mostly I needed two.

Can anyone given me any advice re; Interferon
I am due to start
interferon
meds very soon due to unstable counts on hydrea, the Hem has warned me I am in for a period of ajustment which maybe very difficult in parts due to side effects - I would be very grateful if anyone can share their experiences on this med, I guess I need to know how bad it

Wow there's a group for Essential Thrombocythaemia!!
Over the years I have been on most of the medication available to ET sufferers from Hydroxeurea (tablet form) to Anegralide (tablet form) and finally peg
interferon
(injection) without realising I have suffered most of the side effects of the treatments but have never voiced them to a doctor because

Does anyone with MPD and taking interferon suffer with stomach problems?
As I am on
Interferon
I wondered if this was a contributing factor but my consultant is not very clear on this when I've asked.

Is there anyone else being treated with Interferon, especially Pegasus?
How long has it taken for you to settle on the treatment?
