MS symptoms or betaferon side effects?
Posted: Thu May 05, 2005 5:41 am
Hello everyone,
My 15-yr old daughter was dx this past Jan and recently started Beta injections (she's only at 1/2 dose). She says that "everything hurts more" like when she gets knocked or pushed or scrapes herself. She also says that her arms and legs feel like they have just had an intense workout and the muscles are tired and sore.
Since we are new to all of this, could you pros tell me whether these feelings of hers are MS symptoms or reactions to the iterferon? (She is taking 100mg of ibuprophen with each injection.)
thanks for your help.
