Hi all,
Still considering what the heck to do about my new disease :)

It seems I ran across an article when I first started researching options that cited an increase in the number & severity of relapses once a patient had to stop rebif. (due to side effects, antibodies etc)

Has anyone seen data to support/deny this? I'd love a link if you have info.
I'm ...

I posted this thread on HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE INTERFERON BETA DRUGS in the Avonex area and it may contain some things of interest to the Rebif folks here.

In the time that I switched to Rebif, it seems like fatigue, leg weakness, and spasticity have become more frequent. This of course ...

Anyone else notice this side effect when taking rebif?

Interesting study proposal:

I know the financial burden that MS can put on a Family so since I work in the market research field and one of my clients was asking the I recruit for an MS medication telephone focus group, I said yes. This is not a scam and you ...

Hi All,

I just had MRI yesterday and the result was out today. There are 2-3 small new lesions :( and the previous lesions were getting smaller.
My neuro informed me that now he suspected that I might have ODM instead of MS since most of my relapzes that I am experiencing is Optic Neuritis.
He did not explain in detail yet on the phone what is ...

I have been on Rebif for 3 months. Had a bout of diverticulitis 3 wks ago, cannot seem to fully recover, even after hefty antibiotics. Not sure it is the diverticulitis, or just inflamation, but low grade fever as well, for 3 wks. Taking tons of Tylenol and Advil while on Rebif. Stopped Rebif a week ago.
Bloodwork shows low red blood cell count, low hemoglobin, low hematocrit (anemia), and high sed rate, and segs ...
