Hi everyone, just wanted to reach out and introduce myself!
I am newly diagnosed, well if you can count 7 months new, however it still feels very new as i suppose i am still coming to terms with it and doing my best to incorporate it into my life!
I am taking Rebif after trying Avonex for a couple of months, but the side effects were too much to bear, especially when my hair started falling out at a great rate. The Rebif is better but I am still battling a few side effects and trying to feel as 'normal' as possible!
Does anyone know how long it takes before they wear off and you can take your meds and not feel any ill effects? I had a bad infection (or three, chest, ear and throat) a while ago and had to stop the meds in order to try and shift the infections and am glad to say, managed to get better. The small break (one week) that i had from my meds seems to have set me back a bit though and the side effects off the Rebif seem to have increased again and a new one has developed!
Has anyone else had issues with nose bleeds on Rebif? I have had 4 in three days and am not sure if i should be going to the doctor or just riding it out! Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Be well everyone x
