s/e with powder vs. pre-filled syringes
ive found that the side effects (for me, at least) are alot worse withe the premixed syringes than with the powder whichhas to be reconstituted. the interferon is the same but the "inert" ingredients are different.

naprelan
my neuro has offered to write me a script for naprelan (which is just a time-released form for naproxen). none of the NSAIDS are good for your liver (especially with alcohol) there are warning labels on the bottles.

needleless injections
i, too, have needleless injections in the miliatry in the early 1980? chemically some drugs arent suited to that type of system because they are too thick or soem other reason. that has been my understanding.
