Update on Pegasys reduction
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2024 4:58 pm
Hi All,
After 5.5 years on 90 micrograms with very stable results across all measures for some time, my haematologist has reduced my dosage down to 67.5 micrograms but still injecting 6 weekly. The goal is to see if I can maintain my good blood test results on a reduced dose. The good news is that so far I’ve been able to do so which has given me a boost with my platelets still at 316 and all other measures within range. I’m still trying to maintain a whole food (and anti inflammatory) diet and I’m still getting acupuncture a week after the injection as a way to assist my body to recover from the Peg injection. I’ll keep you posted re how everything progresses. I’m in Tasmania for a family celebration and won’t be able to attend tonight’s catch up.
Cheers
Mark
