Inteferon and remission?
I know there’s been a lot of research on the peg
interferon
being successful with complete molecular remission. It has been very exciting to read about this. I just had my hemo appointment today. I have been on the
interferon
for about eight months. 45 MCG weekly.

Dry cough
Hello I read a few days ago about someone having a breathing problems linked to
Interferon
. I was wondering what this felt like. I’m 3 months into taking Pegasys and have increased asthma symptoms at the moment. Information about anyone else’s experiences would be reassuring.

My story so far. Hi I’m new!
I think the frustrating part of it is that I do feel tired and in pain but no more than before the
interferon
and that If I was lying in bed more sick I would be able to take it all in better. I just wanted to get this off my mind.

‘Sharps’ Bin
Hi , Sorry to ask such a trivial question, but I was given a sharps bin when I started
Interferon
a couple of months ago, but not told exactly what to put in it. I know you knowledgeable people will have the answer.

recurrent infections
The platelets are better as was previously on
Interferon
which reduced my platelets to more normal levels around 600 mark but on the slow increase (was previously 1500). My bone marrow biopsy showed reticulin grade 1-2. My symptoms have worsened but no-one wants to listen.

Pegasys interferon shortage
Hi, Had my monthly haematology check up the other day and my consultant advised that there is a manufacturing shortage of peg
interferon
at the moment so they couldn’t prescribe my normal 4 weeks supply. Has anyone else heard this or is it maybe just a Scotland thing?

It is not as hard as you think
Twenty odd years ago I had two options,
Interferon
Beta 1b or nothing, I was told that there are 14 approved options here in Australia today twenty years later. A bit of an improvement in so few years. All I had was a once every other day subcutaneous injection.

Remission with peg interferon
I was wondering if people have had any success with remission using this drug for certain amount of years. Is there hope to reduce their burden even if is 56%.

Things that I do because , just because
Though I did religiously take
Interferon
Beta 1b for a decade without stopping. Get a baseline reading of your blood levels. Any vitamins that “YOU” can think of, cholesterol, things like that. Have a baseline to be able to look at.

Absolutely different experience entirely!
Anegrelide and Pegylated
interferon
were mentioned and side effects spoken about and discussed. He then examined my spleen,something that had never been done in 11yrs. He was unsure whether it felt hard or not so he as referred me for a ultrasound on it.

Platelets 1200 - No Action to be taken?
Tried Hydroxy,
Interferon
, and other drugs, without long term success, due to side effects. Now in a situation where Platelet count is 1200 and potentially rising. Now only taking Aspirin. Feeling vulnerable as I am now being told no other options and should be taking no further action.
