Hi everybody....
I am very interesting.....when does rebif take effect (after how many time). I mean, do you have any improvement, or how long does it take to notice any improvement...if there is any.....
Hope you are not angry about these questions....

Anita,
Your language is good enough.
When I started taking Rebif I did not have symptoms, so it is not easy to guess when it started working. About 4 months later, I had some very minor numbness that lasted a week or two. Since then, no symptoms at all. I have been free of symptoms for at least 2 years. So from my experience, I might guess that it takes at least 4 months to reach full effectiveness.
I do think it took 6-8 months for my body to adjust to Rebif. I had elevated liver enzymes in my blood tests about 6 months after starting. They returned to normal soon after that.
Maybe others will have more direct insights from their experience.
