Re: Undescended testicle, a hydrocele, MS, interferon..

Almost 2 years since my initial post here.. I am now on Tecfidera since September 2015 and far more optimistic about it helping me better than the 2 interferons I tried. Avonex had become quite intolerable because of the 'dark cloud' that enveloped me while on it and had become like the effects by t...

Re: Tecfidera and certain foods causing flushing

Hi BLD, I've been on Tecfidera for 3 months now. First couple of months I needed to have a good nutritious meal with a good fat content to avoid flushing.

When I was 16 years old I realised that I had a rather large right testicle and this kept getting larger until I finally got around to having 200 mls drained and some extra growth remo...

Re: From Rebif to Avonex

I haven't but I'm really not sure if I need to. I felt that I was fine last night for example without taking anything else.

I'll try it in the future when I feel the need though. Thanks for the tip.

Now on Avonex

Hi everyone, Just an update for some further info on what I'd decided to do about the Rebif treatment : In April 2012 I did actually discontinue taking the Rebif and I felt much better and actually had a great summer without taking any medication. I had been limping a little but by about april 2013 ...

Re: Wondering whether to stay on Rebif

Thanks for your replies. It's really tricky one for me as it's not just the MS that's unpredictable but the treatment too. For example, since I initially posted, I've actually been feeling a lot of benefit even with the difficulties the morning after (a lot of strength returning to muscles that have...

Wondering whether to stay on Rebif

Hi Everyone, So That's me been taking Rebif for 3 months now (RR for 12 years now, 35 yo). Have taking nothing prior to that except for a relapse last May which required Corticosteroid treatment in hospital. And now that I've been on 44 mcg, 3x a week (M/W/F) for about 6 weeks, I'm finding it more a...
