Worth reading if considering Pegasys
Dr Silver is the
Interferon
guru, based of his long experience using
Interferon
as a first line treatment choice. Also he recommends INF/Pegasys at an early stage when patients still low risk.

Critical illness claim success!
Peg
interferon
didn’t reduce my platelets (almost 1200) as hoped and chemo has been added but finally I’m in the 700’s so a big leap in the right direction. Fatigue is a factor but not so much so that it stopped me taking a trip to Paris with a 6 month old to tag along with a work trip of Daddy’s.

Pegasys struggles..any tips?
Medication changed to
interferon
, initially 3miu twice a week, but now moved to pegasys weekly 135mig injections and find that after 2 injections I’m really struggling with the side affects. Main issues are the constant flu like symptoms, to the point the pain seems like it’s actually in my bones.

HU vs Pegalated Interferon?
I would like to talk to my Haematologist about changing to Pegalated
Interferon
. Can anyone tell me their experiences with pros and cons of both. Thanks.

Pegasys Interferon
Hi Just a wee update - still got MF, still coping 'not too bad' - in fact I'm doing better than that as a result of changing medication to Pegasys from Hydroxy. I had suffered incredible fatigue with the Hydroxy and the platelets hadn't really come down as much as the Haem expected. I have found it easy

I went from
interferon
beta 1b to
interferon
beta 1a for a month because it promised fewer injections. Good idea but bad mistake so I went back to 1b. I little bit later Tecfidera, a tablet, came along and I have not looked back.

Do you see the possibilities around "YOU"?
Interferon
Beta 1b Betaseron or Betaferon depending on where"YOU" were in the world. Same stuff different names, marketing issues I guess. The next year I believe Avonex then Copaxone came along.

Migraines and ET (treated with interferon)
Hi! I have always suffered migraines, they used to be a lot worse and then after commencing treatment for my ET (high platelets) they calmed down a lot. On Thursday night I was hit with a massive one, and then yesterday ended up in hospital with it. The neurologist said that migraines can change,

I now have to chose between
Interferon
Alpha (recommended), Hydroxcarbamide, Anagrelide but have no idea which to chose. My thoughts are to go with
Interferon
but have no real idea which to chose. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences that might help? Thanks Ben

Miracles Do Happen
We tried to cure of it 3 times, first year 48 weeks of
interferon
and no luck. My second try a year or so later was for 48 weeks of
Interferon
with Peg, no luck. The last year of 48 weeks of
interferon
with peg and they raised the values of
interferon
20x, still no luck, felt like I was dead.

Stem cell transplant appointment for post PV MF
We wanted to know about Pegasus and
interferon
but these two weren't an option. So for now he's going to take ruxlitnib for as long as he can then consider a transplant when it's needed.

My Experience With Melanoma
I could get a high dose, a low dose, or
interferon
randomly. I got chosen for what later turned out to be the FDA approved dose of what is now commercially called Yervoy. I finished each dose with no side effects. I continued to have scans as scheduled, and I continued to abuse drugs.

Drink is a curse!
I contracted Hepatitis C through drug use and was treated twice with
interferon
almost 20 years later and finally was clear of the virus. My problem is that while I gave up drugs I picked up alcohol so actually, in terms of liver health I am no better off.

What RRms requires of you.
I intensely dislike needles, but back in the day,
Interferon
Beta 1b (Betaseron) was the only Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) available. So my choice was to suck it up or... and or was not really an option. Two of my strong women in my life quickly vetoed that option.

How Does Pegasy help ET?
Before I start on Pegasy Im trying to understand the process, the mechanism that Interferons use to lower platelets. There isnt much on the net, but from what I watched and read, Interferons stimulate the auto-immune system and thats why patients often get flu-like symptoms. Because white-blood cells

Treatment not working
Sadly, after 2 months of
interferon
my platelets reached 1100 a number I have never reached since I was diagnosed. My doctor seemed clueless when I asked her why isn't the treatment working so did this happen to anyone?
