Hi Everyone,

Has anyone noticed bruising at your injection sites? I just recently noticed that I have bruises on my arms and on my thighs. It's ugly!

Is there anything I can do to reduce them? As it is I ice the injection sites after I am done.

I just now saw the NMSS's bulletin regarding Antegren that was just posted on their website (dated 11-8-04).

Well, I have to say (for what it's worth), that I approve. I couldn't have worded it better myself for them (given their "leadership" role in MS). :wink:

They basically are doing what I said I was doing just a minute ago. Letting the FDA deal with it. HAH! ...

First, thanks to all of those who work to keep this website "up and running". I have found it to be a tremendous source of information.

I am 61 years of age, female, doting grandmother, golfer, and CFO of a firm in Colorado. I was dx with MS in the summer of 2003 - I have had symptoms for years, but they always went away or they were too mild to be of concern. I ...

Just located this site and wanted to introduce myself. I am a 45 yr old female. I was diagnosed with RRMS when I was 38 but my doc believes that my MS initiated when I was 31.

I still work full time as an Industrial Hygienist at an aluminum rolling mill. My doc says that my MS is doing well. I sometimes wonder. Since my initial diagnosis, I have had to stop doing many things. ...

Hello all,

From what I understand the Aimspro clinical trials have been going on for over a year. If this medication is as effective as the anecdotal reports seem to indicate, I would think that they would stop the trials early...?

Does anyone have any information on this?
