PV side effects and denied Pegasus Interferon
Also I have been denied the use of Peg
Interferon
, I'm guessing that was due to funding! I am 27 and on Hydroxy, the
Interferon
was causing me problems with my sciatic nerve! I really don't want to be on chemotherapy for the rest of my life!x

Are all my symptoms Hep C related or is it something else?
For various personal reasons I cannot commit to treatment and am hoping for a new drug for Genotype 3 that doesn't contain
interferon
to come along before I pop my clogs. I took a list of all my worsening symptoms and was sent for an Ultrasound scan and blood test.

Interferon 2a or Pegasys----how different are they regarding effect on the body and possible molecular remission?
I have been on
interferon
2a for 2 1/2 years and am sick of having painful legs and lower back. My bloods are normal, platelets 250-300. I would like to stop the meds but haem is reluctant. Would there be any point in switching to Pegasys?

Peg Interferon - Anyone found bone structure changing?
Hi The meds we are taking affect the bone. Has anyone noticed any changes in their joints / bone structure? I am on Pegylated Inteferon and I think I am noticing some changes but cannot be 100% sure. Sherry.

Considering changing from Hu to Interferon and need support to make right decision.
I am considering to change to
Interferon
and have spoken to a pharmacist trained to work with MPD's that saw me last time I had my regular check up, which was last week. She gave me booklet on
interferon
information and that she will talk to Dr. Harrison.

Peg interferon versus interferon alpha. I've read that interferon alpha can have an effect on the thyroid.
Is there any medical evidence that peg
interferon
is a better alternative if this is shown to be a side effect of
interferon
alpha? Has anyone else had the experience of changing types of
interferon
?

Hi I have et and am on interferon a. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a right breast Mastectomy and a week later had a tia which is
thought to be caused by my blood becoming sticky during op, cancer was found in the sentel node that was removed but I can't have another op due to it being considered to risky and the only option is radiotherapy but I'm worried how this will react with my medication and about having radiotheapy. has

ET & interferon
My partner has ET & it's being discussed by the docs that his treatment needs to be changed to
interferon
. Yet there seems a delay - we get the impression this is due to funding issues. Any ideas or has anyone experienced similar barriers. Many thanks

After diagnoses of PV/ET, how long did it take for blood counts to stabilize?
Diagnosed around 11 months ago, currently on daily Aspirin and
Interferon
Alpha 4 times a week. My consultant has confirmed my counts are slow to stabilize but they were going in the correct direction.

Does Anyone Know Where in the Body Interferon Reduces the Platelet Count?
Because
interferon
, hydroxycarbamide etc. aren't cures, I think the bone marrow makes as many platelets as ever, but somewhere before blood is taken out and tested for the platelet count the platelets have been reduced in number.

Does anyone know where in the body interferon reduces the platelet count?
Because
interferon
, hydroxycarbamide, anagrelide et. aren't cures, I think the bone marrow makes just as many platelets as ever, but by the time the blood is extracted and tested the platelet count is reduced to show a normal amount.
