Got a question.... I have been on Rebif for a while now. I try to inject every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Lately, I have had alot on my mind, and have been scatter brained at best. I have missed a couple of my dates for injection. I have just been injecting on the very next day, wich has my schedule all screwed up. I reckon what I am asking is.... How important is it to ...

Hey everyone -
I have been on rebif for 4 or 5 years now, and ive been using the recommended locations the entire time. However I am getting sick of using the back of my arm, my wife has to help with it which she does not enjoy, and i find it to be the biggest pain to do as well. So my question is, will i be fine if i just use the other ...

First-
If it's bad form to do this when I don't personally have MS, my bad, and I sincerely apologize.
However, my bride to be does have RRMS. About a year in. So hopefully that makes this OK.
Is there any known/good reason not to do certain supplements while on rebif?
The few I'm most concerned with are: Vitamin D, Resveritrol, and OPCs. Or, if you know of any others to look into that would ...

Started Rebif on April 1st because Copaxone quit working for me. Neuro wanted me to give Rebif a 6-month shot. She said if I didn't tolerate it or if it didn't slow MS progression, she'd switch me to Tysabri.
The first dose was horrid and each since has been more horrid. Spending most days curled up in bed or on sofa due to pain in joints; skin also hurts serverly (back, shoulders, neck &, as ...

Post subject: Rebif causing increase in sensory symptoms? Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2009 5:49 pm |

I was diagnosed in June, and started Rebif 4 weeks ago. I have just finished my last 22 mcg, and tuesday is my first 44 mcg injection. When I began Rebif, my symptoms, which are primarily sensory, had been stable for about 3 months. Two days after my first dose of Rebif, my sensory symptoms (originally mostly in one arm and hand) worsened, spreading to my foot, and then both feet, and both legs over ...

I had a weird thing happen with my shot last night and just wondered if anyone else has had this happen. The Rebif was leaking out the front through the needle without me pressing on the plunger and then all of a sudden the plunger fell out the back of the needle and the Rebif went all over my leg. Been doing this for 3 years and never had this happen. Do I call my ...

Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you have experienced a 'numbness' or 'pins/needles' sensation on parts of your body? I'm experiencing these at the moment on the right side of my body...the face, legs and arms.
I've asked for advise from my neuro abt this and his reply was that if it doesn't restrict me from doing things then there's no need to take steroids. He said that it should go away gradually. He ...

Well, I finally stopped taking my Rebif. I got increasingly frustrated with the injection site reactions. I have been relapse free for over two years, but I still have the daily crud we all deal with. Truth be told, however, I feel like my fatigue has been better since stopping the Rebif completely.
Today I will probably chastise a patient for stopping their medications early. Yes, even docs can be hypocrites ...

On myself! Giant Hurdle leaped this evening..... :lol:
Now for you veteran injectors, This is a rookie moment (for me anyway)
I took my first shot of the 44mcg Rebif tonight. Pondering what you guys have told me about auto injecting versus manual, I took my injection manually where I could control the flow rate of the medicine. THIS, for me, was a HUGE step! ...
