This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi everyone, I'm a 38 year old male with MS for 9 years (took Avonex for 5 years), and my wife and I have one child. We've been trying unsuccessfully for a second... My ms has been getting worse and my neurologist recently prescribed me copaxone. I was wondering, anyone know how it affects a male wi...

hey nonie, I would maybe give it a little more time... Ive noticed many of these things pass. I havent updated this post lately, but my armpits sweating in the middle of the day has passed. I just did my 53rd shot of avonex this weekend (1 full year already), i must say that overall im very satisfie...

Hey, it was the pre-filled. Thats why I was having trouble. It could have been 18 hours that it had been at room temperature. I had no idea. I actually got the one that you mix over there.

Hey everyone, First of all, welcome Hanhie. this is something I've been meaning to write about lately. The past month to 6 weeks I have been sweating during the days from the armpits!!! I never sweat before... Its pretty distracting. For example at work, with clients in my office, out of nowhere I'l...

Im so sorry that it took so long to get this post out. I do not want to get into the whole experience I had with the Polar Bear Med Cooler I bought... It was a total disaster! In short, the cooler is garbage. It failed on me and my Avonex went to room temperature I would guess within about 8 to 10 h...

Well, after getting many contradicting answers (yes its still good and No its not), I finally decided that I wasn't going to take the risk. I had an order of avonex delivered to my brothers place and have now taken both my shots. However, the avonex did not come in the Pre-filled form and I had to m...

Im on vacation and I dont know if my Avonex (prefilled) is still "good". I hope someone here can help answer my question. I bought a cooler from theinsulincase.com which promised to keep my medication at 2 to 8 degrees celcius for 24 hours. I prepared the cooler and traveled for 21 hours o...

Hey, this product is actually harder to find than I thought. So far the only thing I could find is an e-mail address for Union Medico (the makers of the auto-injector). However, they're in Denmark and I dont know if they have anyone receiving the e-mails that can read or reply in English. You can tr...

This is from another post I had setup. I hope this may be helpful for someone... I just ordered from insulincase.com the "Small Medication Cooler kit good for Avonex Byetta Copaxone Embrel Forteo Humulin Xolair", costs about 45$ US. I found it through amazon.com. There was a slightly large...

I just ordered from insulincase.com the "Small Medication Cooler kit good for Avonex Byetta Copaxone Embrel Forteo Humulin Xolair", costs about 45$ US. I found it through amazon.com. There was a slightly larger one for 55$. Im not gonna take a chance with anything else. The description is ...

Thanks NHE, I may go see my doctor before my next scheduled visit in February If I have the time. It could be from exhaustion/stress. Been very busy at work lately with the end the the 2007 fiscal year and entering 2008. Im going to wait a little bit though. See if I have any other nose bleeds over ...

They are the prefilled... I actually discovered a product called a FRIO cooler that is recommended for insulin. Im thinking this is what i may go with unless you or anyone has any other suggestions. I also ordered through e-bay a battery packed cooler, but im not so sure i will use it. The frio cool...

Well, so far so good. The past few months have been an experience. I haven't had the worst course of side-effects. Other than 2 injection nights where I temporarily got the chills/shaking/chattering I have been I think pretty fortunate. I get pretty tired for about 24 hours and I could sleep all day...
