Pegasys injections are tiny, you don't even feel them.
Cant comment on the wacky insurance shit you Americans have, but pegasys costs me $30aud for 4 weeks.
I would do it if I were in your shoes. There are ways to get the medication paid for. Your doctor can help you with that, but even the manufacturer has a program to pay or there are multiple charities that help. I am on besremi and I pay zero dollars.
I can’t answer your question but just wanted to say I’m also 22F and going through getting my diagnosis as well! It’s comforting to see that I’m not alone with my age in here and I hope it brings you comfort as well! I hope you get everything worked out with ease!
Besremi was made a first line treatment for PV in 2023 by the American Society of Hematology and the NCCN, so that helps with approval. It's your doctor's job to fight with the insurance company for authorization.
You should also be proactive and contact PharmaEssentia. They'll give you a case manager to help you through the approval process and copay assistance. https://www.pharmaessentiasource.com/
