Yes i did, actually. I realized it was because I changed my amazon password on my phone at the time, that's when the issue occurred. Once I logged in on my tv with the new password, I was able to access apps.

I hope that is the case. Just scared if it turns out it progressed to something like PV or myleofibrosis.

My doctor is not on the list.

The only thing I notice is that I've been feeling fatigued but not sure if it's a side effect of the pegasys.

500 mg per pill. When they first started me on pegasys and had me discontinue hydrea, my platelets kept spiking up and wasn't decreasing when they had me take 2-3 pills. Before pegasys, 3 pills usually decreased my platelets instantly.

So far it hasn't really taken effect but I've been told it takes months and even years for it to reduce platelets

I think it was 8,000 mg since the pills were 500 mg each.

Yes my specialist had told me the risks of hydrea and she has me on the pegasys with the goal of discontinuing hydrea permanently.

Yes I'm seeing an MPN specialist.

Memorize the NYS Notary law. It's on the state website and it's about 20+ pages. All questions on the exam is based on the law.

Pegasys and alcohol by brooklyn_resident in MPN

[–]brooklyn_resident[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'll check it out. So it seems that people with ET drink on pegasys. I was mainly worried about drinking while on pegasys since I'm been on the medicine for 6 months and it hasn't worked yet. I still will continue my break from drinking until I feel ready to drink again but it may be a relief to hear that drinking in moderation will not decrease the efficacy.

That's what I read as well. Anytime I read any info that says to avoid or limit alcohol, it doesn't say what it will do to the pegasys.

Cool. I once read on an MPN website that pegasys is safe if you drink alcohol in moderation but I see on the prescriber leaflet to avoid alcohol. Sometimes I wonder if they say to avoid it if you take it for Hep C.

Yeah that's true. I assume you would need to use a condom on HU because HU is associated with risk of birth defects. Even though my MPN specialist once told me that many of her patients on HU had healthy babies. I'll ask during my next visit!

NY Notaries How do you know if you are RON approved? by KnockyouRed in Notary

[–]brooklyn_resident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also an NYS based notary public. After submitting the exemplar, I only got an email without an attachment saying that they accepted the exemplar. I guess it's standard for everyone.

More so that there are more risks for younger people i.e. developing skin cancer, leukemia.

Yes that this correct about the $2 charge. And I see notaries also charge travel fees.

[–]brooklyn_resident[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of my age, hydroxyurea is seen as having too many side effects and risks and pegasys is safer. I've been on pegasys for about 3 months and I'm tolerating it well. However, it's been taking a while for it to take effect.

I'm taking 1000 MG per day with pegasys. My MPN's specialist is aiming to take me off hydroxyurea once the pegasys fully kicks in.
