No makjor side effects - does that change the outcome?

Hi This might sound like a strange question but apat from the first night of really bad shivers and fever, I've had no side effects to speak of and I'm getting a bit concerned that, thats not necessarily a good thing! Now, 3 weeks into Avonex, I hit a relapse, which Im sure was hanging around in the...

Avonex

Hi Cant say I've noticed any weight gain but have only been on it for 7 weeks. I have pnly had one really bad night with the side effects but they passed in about 2 hours I would guess.

Hi The thought of depression has crossed my mind but Im confident that if my legs start behaving, these feelings will subside. I'm not normally a depressed person - I get down like everyone else but nothing too much. I have a great support system in place. Outside of my hubby and a few friends (I ha...

Thanks both of you. I've felt this way for over 3 weeks now (been on Avonex for 5). I'm trying hard not to blame it as I know its an irrational worry but I cant help thinking. Doc thinks I may have labrythinitis and a viral infection so I know that on top of the MS, this wont be an easy thing to sha...

Fatigue?

Hi I posted previously about weird side effects with Avonex. Now, my GP seems to think I may have labrythinitis and a viral infection (both not treatable) - all based on what I told her, no actual exmainastion! Apparently I just have to wait it out and let it run its course. Anyway, I decided to kee...

Well you're still brave in my eyes! I need to stay positive for Fridays injection. I'm really scared after the reaction last week but think my body must have been fighting another infection of some sort as I've not been feeling myself for a fweek or so. I'll post and let you know how it goes. Denise x

Has anyone had this happen?

Hi all I'm looking for some advice if possible. I started Avonex 3 weeks ago. The fist 2 weeks were fine - no major side effects. After the third one on Firday, I woke up Saturday morning unable to walk. Every time I went to put weight on my legs to walk to the bathroom, I felt as though I had no po...

First injection over!!

Well, started the Avonex last night and I have to say the injection wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. It didn't hurt at all and was over in a second. The side effects kicked in about 4 hours later while in bed (had been trying to get to sleep quick in order to miss them but it never happens when y...
