Hey Everyone - So I have been on rebif for, man, like 4 or 5 years now it must be. I am only on the .22 dose, .44 was killing my liver. So on the .22 I have pretty much no side effects. However recently I started to notice something new. Not sure if it is an MS thing, or a drug thing.

When I have my head level, reading the computer screen for example, and I quickly look down into my lap, I get this sensation, not sure how to describe it, kind of feels like a head rush / fainting feeling. Anyone ever experience this?

I went to my Nuero last fall and I have only had 1 new legion since my previous MRI that was like 3 or 4 years prior.

So what is your take on this?

Thanks

Hi Fishee,
Does the description of L'Hermitte's sign on the page linked below sound similar to the symptoms you are experiencing?
