Re: Who has been tested?

I participated in a CCSVI study at False Creek Healthcare, British Columbia the end of 2010. They did MRV scanning on 100 mser's and 100 non-mser's to see if there was any diference in the occurances of CCSVI.

Re: gabapentin

I felt more tired when I first started taking gabapentin, but once I built up to an effective dose, that tired feeling went away, although I still struggle with fatigue, which to me feels different that a drug induced tiredness. I've tried to reduce my dose a couple times by 300mg/day but each time ...

Re: Why did you choose Rebif?

oreo - I just got some needles from Serono. They did include a card, but no name on it, so of course no credentials either. It's just a generic card, English on one side and French on the other, saying Multiple Support Program Ph # & fax # PatientServices@emserorno.com address in Ontario and the...

I hear you CoffeD. I'm in BC canada. My nurse was from a private company, hired by Sereno, and while she did a great job training me how to use the Rebismart, I never heard from her again. After a month or two of using Rebif, I got a call from a rep who gave me his contact info. This is the guy I ca...

I signed up online yesterday.

I'm pretty excited about it too, Cece. While I doubt I'll be chosen (i'm 54) just knowing this study is being done gives me hope, and signing up makes me feel like I'm at least trying.....

Thanks for the post garyak.

Good info MrSuccess.

Hi Andie

I think if you were to start a new post you might get some responses to this question.

This post is about the Rebif injector.

Thanks

Rebif can be kept at room temp for up to a month (up to 25 C). If you are in a very warm area, you can remove the vial from the machine and put it i...

I just spoke to my assigned rep at Rebif.

He says the RebiSmart is available in the UK and in Canada, but not yet in the US or Australia.
