pegylated interferon?
She would like to try me on peg
interferon
as she feels its more suitable than HU at my age. Any experience of this - would like to hear about the side effects. HU going well for me, but recently my haemoglobin crashed and we dont know why. Its gradually climbing, but so are my platelets :-(

First post ....
My platelet level varied between 1100 and 1600 and recently the doctors found out that my Von Willebrand factor is low, so on top of being at risk of clots, I also bleed strangely.... so on discovery of this I have started taking
interferon
(I put this off for ages, I'm not a fan of medication....)

Hi all
Angrylide can be very hard on the heart and Pegasy well not too many Dr's know about it, the pharmaceutical are making less and less due to the new Hep C drug and most link it with the regular
interferon
.

Hydroxycarbamide v Pegasys Interferon
I am leaning towards
interferon
but am worried as I have always suffered with depression so it concerns me that this will worsen? Has anyone found this to be a major problem. I was also told they both lower our immune system, how concerning is this, would we need to avoid people with colds?

Why am I always tired and sad? What can I do?
I was diagnosed with melanoma (I got away lucky and only had to do
interferon
therapy for 20 months after the operation - no fun, but I managed) and at the same time my boyfriend of six years cheated on me while abroad for five months and we broke up after a long fuss.

Out of date Interferon
I discovered that my Intron A
interferon
was 3 months out of date when I went to give myself my jab last night. Does anyone know if this is dangerous? Thanks Mel x

Is this newest pill absolutely safe??
May I say I've gone through every clinical trial which included
interferon
injections, pegatron injections with ribavin non of which worked at all. In fact I almost died from the last one which evidently caused more health problems.

Starting Interferon
Well that was an interesting morning! Went to my appointment knowing I'd probably need to start treatment as my platelets have been climbing for a while - had decided to opt for HU and negotiate a delay of a couple of weeks as I've got a very busy October. Ended up opting for Pegasys instead and injecting

Treatment in Scotland.
I,ve had hepc since 1982 and been treated unsuccessfully once with
interferon
. I have tried unsuccessfully to research the harvoni treatment protocol in Scotland. Does anyone know if it is compulsory to have ribavarin along side it.

Moving to Interferon
My husband is about to switch to
interferon
from hydroxy. I see all the info here on side effects which is a worry as life has felt quite stable for the last couple of years. Does anyone have more positive experiences with
interferon
and not had such severe side effects?
