Increase in Blood Pressure on Pegasys
I have noticed that my blood pressure has increased significantly. It has always been slightly high, but is now a lot higher. I have a telephone appointment in a couple of weeks so will mention it then, but wondered if it could be a side effect of the Peg, as I’m on quite a high dose. Has anyone else

THC?
I have PV and take
Pegasys
weekly ( the lowest dose). Cannabis is legal here in Oregon. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t use the THC? Does anyone have experience with this?

Excellent service
Had I been in the clinic I probably would have had a venesection then and there, however my consultant decided to continue with
Pegasys
and defer a venesection until my next appt on 2 October.

Pain in the coxis, hips, groins and the whole legs. Do you have?
If you take Interferon,
Pegasys
, do it finish with this pain or not? And Hydroxiurea? What drug is recommended with bones pain? What kind of medical proofs? Any recommendations. It can be confused with arthritis, Hashimoto, or other diseases. How do you know about it? Thanks

Does the nausea with HU diminish?
I have PCV and have generally been doing well with
Pegasys
except that its legendary itching has been a problem, especially in the hot, humid summer, so I thought I'd take a little vacation from it with hydroxyurea until the winter comes.

On bone marrow biopsy (BMB)?
Is this a reliable way to check the effect of Pegylated interferon alfa-2a (
Pegasys
)? Thanks and take care of yourself!

Pegasys

First post and thank you
Anyway the BMB results showed I was suffering with pre-MF and I started on weekly 45mg
Pegasys
injections almost immediately.

Occupational health
I have PV and been prescribed
Pegasys
since 2016. All bloods are normal. This assessment was done through a computer program. My risk score was 3.1. The statement I was told 'you can't return to work. You will die if you get covid'.

PV and Teaching Amidst Covid
I was being treated with
Pegasys
, and my blood levels were very well controlled. In the last few months though, inflammation led to a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, which then led to may oncologist taking me off of
Pegasys

Longterm Interferon treatment
The drug of choice I am inclined to initially try is pegylated interferon, either
pegasys
or besremi, if available in the US soon. I am calling on patients who have used and/or are still using interferon. How does/ did it work for you? What were your side effects and quality of life?

Light-Headed / Dizzy
PV, JAK2+, been on
Pegasys
45mcg for 4 months. Could it be the peg just accumulating and just now showing a new symptom? Others out there on peg experience new symptoms long into treatment without a dose change?

Where do you inject your Pegasys?
I have always injected in my tummy, but I lost a lot of weight (mainly because of several courses of antibiotics earlier this year), and now I am struggling to grasp enough flesh. Do any of you inject into your thigh or anywhere else? Do you know if it makes any difference to absorption or effectiveness

Ruxolitinib plus Pegasys for MF: anyone else on this combination? Oxford meet up.
Am taking ruxolitinib, and for the last month
pegasys
as well. Would be interested to make contact with anyone else taking this combination I’m sending this post while sitting in the university parks on a shady bench.

Still here!
The consultant didn't think that the MF would have progressed so much to be causing that level of fatigue so suggested coming off the
Pegasys
to see if that could be causing a reaction (unlikely).

Folate/Folic Acid
I had my telephone consultation today (ET JAK2+
Pegasys
) and was initially horrified to hear that my Haemoglobin was 77 and Platelets 46!

Pegasys syringe sometimes leaks
I have been on
Pegasys
90mcg weekly since last July. I am always very careful preparing the syringe but approximately every second or third week some leaks out from the join between the needle part and the syringe part.

Pegasys working too well?
Platelets back in range now, thought my Hct continues to elevate which I get a monthly phlebotomy for...though my white blood count has consistently been dropping and is now well below range. Only on 45mcg - I have a follow up on thursday next week. Anyone else deal with balancing the benefits of lowering
