 Post subject: How do you get Betaseron without insurance?
PostPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 6:02 am 
Our household income exceeds the income requirements for the patient assistance programs. Are there any other options besides paying the full amount out of pocket? The meds would still cost more than a 1/3 of what we make!

Patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) who took interferon-beta-1b for two years in a randomized trial continued to show improvement relative five years later, Spanish researchers said.

Although the patients received no further interferon treatment after the randomized trial ended, those who had taken the drug during the study had both better scores for functional outcomes and better MRI evaluations at follow-up than those who had been treated with placebo, according to Xavier ...

 Post subject: Knots after injection
PostPosted: Sat Sep 10, 2011 4:22 am 
I get a lot of "knots" after I inject. I take Ibuprofen an hour before I inject, I use the Betaject and I massage the area right after, but I get these knots that last sometimes for many days. And they can be quite painful as well. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

 Post subject: Betaseron overseas?
PostPosted: Fri Jul 29, 2011 12:56 pm 
Has anyone living in the US ever had to order Betaseron while traveling overseas? If so, how did you get it in another country? Is it cheaper in Europe? I called Betaseron and they said they only thing to do would be to have it shipped to someone in the US and they can personally ship it to wherever I am overseas, but I don't want to ask someone to take the responsibility for $4K ...

I was diagnosed with MS May 13, 2011 and started Betaseron treatment on Monday June 27, 2011.

The BetaNurse was amazing and made the whole process simple. I used the Betaject device for my first shot on my upper right arm and it worked just fine. Tonight is shot #2 and I plan to try a manual injection in the right thigh.

I didn't not experience any obvious side effects. The injection site was slightly ...

 Post subject: Study revisits 1st clinical trial to treat MS decades later
PostPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:24 pm

Tracking down nearly all 372 multiple sclerosis patients involved in a pivotal clinical trial of a drug decades ago has allowed a group of researchers from several institutions, led by professors at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the University of Chicago, to a surprising discovery.

The clinical trial, conducted in the late 1980s, involved the biotech drug interferon beta-1b – an injectable protein that in 1993 became the first pharmaceutical approved ...
