Temporarily stopping Avonex
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2013 3:45 am
Hi all,
my wife has been taking Avonex since 1999. In that time she's slowly gone from R-R to secondary. Currently the Avonex is well tolerated. However, recently we've had a couple of nasty incidents, where a UTI has flared up in a couple of hours, leading to a fever of 104. Last time, A&E doctor commented that the Avonex will mean infections can start unnoticed - until it's too late.
Has anyone temporarily stopped Avonex ? Say for a month ? What was your experience.
thanks in advance all. Now I've found this forum, I might post a lot more.
