Interferon/Pegasys
pid=205&lang=en&sid=1206 Too many to watch all of them but the third from the bottom, Panel Discussion with Dr Verstovsek, was excellent If you are on
Interferon
/Peginteferon or thinking about starting, I’d strongly recommend you watch.

Update
I phoned the nurse regarding treatment and she put our minds at ease by telling us that the letter reads
interferon
free medication, which means they won’t be giving that but epclusa, feeling scared but going in on Tuesday to hopefully get treatment, hope it works as thoughts keep going through my head

Pegasys blood results
Pegasys/
Interferon
really split opinions into those who swear by it and those who suffer unpleasant side effects. So far I’m delighted with it. As others have said, anyone starting Pegasys should, if possible, try a low dose and increase as necessary. Need to build up tolerance.

Medications that can affect thyroid function
Those are: lithium, amiodarone, fluoride, HRT/estrogen, Proton Pump Inhibitors,
Interferon
, Accutane, Iodine (excess), Botox. I have previously heard that beta-blockers also disrupt thyroid, but that was not mentioned. https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/9-medications-toxic-thyroid/

Interferon and itchy toes
Hi all, this might be a daft question but I'll ask it anyway :) I've just started
interferon
(pegasys) and I have horribly itchy middle toes on both feet. I trained as a podiatrist but can't really decide what it is.

Interferon vs pegInterferon
Hi all Can I please ask if anyone has moved away from normal to pegInterferon as a result of side effects and in particular, after feeling depressed? If so, did it help? Thanks Pete

PV and repeated infections
Is
Interferon
better? My haemo is lovely and very knowledgeable and will probably say the my present drug is achieving the required results. But I get very fed up, and my poor GP must want to run when she sees me coming through the door YET AGAIN!

Useful Presentation if you have PV
Discusses progression risk and treatment options, including possible impact of
Interferon
on progression. Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that Pruritus may slow progression!

Interesting transcript interview with Dr Silver
He is very pro early
Interferon
if you don’t get that from interview! In other Presentations, he has said he expects a progression stopping drug will be discovered within 5 years. Outright cure will take longer. https://mpnforum.com/dr-richard-t-silver-the-long-view/

Am I nuts? Hoping to find a cure....
The new Oncologist is optimistic that the
Interferon
will keep the PSA stable without Lupron or other ADT treatments. So far it seems there are zero side-effects with the low-dose
interferon
.

Interferon injection sites
Could anybody advise where I am able to inject my
Interferon
? I am currently doing it into my stomach but I am injecting every other day at present and my skin looks a little red despite rotating sites? Can I give it in my thighs or anywhere else there is some skin?

Video re progression
Interferon
appears only drug that might slow progression but some people can have severe side effects. Ropeginterferon, which hopefully will be available next year, is better tolerated and (I thought) more efficacious.

Went on
interferon
late 06. So fatigued glad to retire. It took a few years to get used to PV, venesections and
interferon
and then i stableised. Now on low dose Pegasys and lead the best active life I can. Fitbit keeps me focused. I try to keep abreast of information and ideas.

Newbie
I was put on
interferon
3 times a week then increased to daily but didn't respond to it and then side effects were not good. I've just swapped to Hydrea 2 a day and I'm going ok but very tired and I have sweats and I can feel a little nauseated sometimes.
