Hi everyone,
I can see from all the info and what the doctor has said, that Maviret is a totally different drug with a different function, so logically I know it won't be the same as the
interferon
.

Hospital appointment
I am currently on
interferon
Alpha and have no problems with this. However my haematologist this morning was very negative and appeared disappointed that my platelets weren't lower and within normal range. She has advised I increase my
Interferon
injections to 4 times a week from 3 times.

Update
About three or 4 months ago, migrating to
interferon
, reduction in hydro from 5x1000mg plus 2x 500mg a week, HCT went up slightly, so venesection x 3, another last week... So at the moment, we have no idea if Pega is working... What experience have others had before Pega made any difference?

Overactive Bladder - Tolterodine stories?
I have IBS, which I (try to) control with my diet, and ET (essential thrombocytheamia), which is treated with
interferon
. Basically I dont want to make my IBS worse, but if I could go more than a couple of hours without needing to pee that would be fab. Thanks!

First dose of Interferon
Well, last night I had my first injection of
Interferon
Roferon A, which was interesting. I took it about 6pm and within an hour was very achey, which led to what can best be described asfull on flu/fever/nausea by 10pm. I took some paracetamol and by the early hours started to feel better.

Interferon v Peginteferon
If one chooses to go this route, which drug is most likely to be prescribed in the UK. I assume INF weekly doses but possibly greater side effects? Peg can be taken every two weeks and meant to better tolerated? Thanks

Interferon alpha frequency
I have been on
interferon
for about 6 months. Now down to two a week. Finding fatigue day after injection becoming much much worse. I know some people at Liverpool have a weekly injection. At what stage was that started. My behcet is under better control although still got eye problems😕

Interferon A
I have been on
interferon
now for 4 weeks and just feel since starting I have felt a bit out of sorts; very tired, feeling a bit fed up, intermittent joint pain. I am keen to preserve with
interferon
and did ask about pegasys but was told this was only an option if Roferon A is not tolerated.

Melanoma Recurrence after 10 Years
I was stage IIIA at this point, and completed the year long course of
Interferon
. (1st month via port 5 days a week, then 11 months of 3 shots per week, self administered) Last week I saw my oncologist after finding a pea sized lump under my knee on the same leg.

Inflammation?
I began taking Peg-
Interferon
3 months ago, and at about that same time, began noticing inflammation. My fingers are swollen to the point that it is difficult to wear my wedding ring. I have not gained any weight, am drinking plenty of water, and eat a healthy diet.

When to start medication?
They’d therefore drafted a replacement in whom I saw, who immediately recommended I go on hydroxy or
Interferon
.

Olaparib/Durvalumab Combo Shows Promise in mCRPC
Activation of the STING pathway correlates with
interferon
-β production and induction of antitumor T cells. In addition, olaparib may lead to immunogenic modulation of the tumor microenvironment in the form of an increase in the number of activated T cells.

I have a question for PV patients, being treated with Peg-
Interferon

Recently diagnosed.
I am on
Interferon
and unfortunately have side effects from this. Does anyone have any advice re natural remedies/diet re managing symptoms? I try to stay as fit as possible, having a very active cocker spaniel motivates me to get out and walk everyday!
