Hi I have just tested my Vitamin D levels and it is 35.6 μg/L. Should be considered also that I'm taking almost one month 10.000 IU Daily Please if you can give me any suggestion on this?

No, I've been off Avonex for several years now and I don't take any other DMDs.

First few times it was really bad with severe side effects but finally I started to use Brufen 3 hours after the injections and it seems that works well for me. Very little or no side effects. I took Avonex for 10 years. I always used to feel a bit cruddy the next day. Ibuprofen helped with that as...

Thanks a lot for the info!
