Kirsty, It hasn't changed my life that much. I drink and occasionally use rec drug. I think I get a little more dehydrated on injection nights, so if I'm drinking that night too, it's good to really remember to drink water to avoid hangovers. I chose rebif over other drug therapies in large part bec...

oreo, it doesn't seem to matter how I inject but 9/10 times it hurts. and I do get the injection site reaction marks, but they don't hurt so I ignore them. I've read all the advice here and elsewhere. I do warm the syringe up to body temp first, and I think that lessens the pain, but it's still pain...

Do I *like* these meds? Of course not. But am I satisfied with my decision to choose this med instead of others? Yes. I *like* only having to take it 3 times a week instead of every other day or daily. I don't have the side effects that plague many others, and my disease doesn't seem to have progres...

I first noticed my Raynaud's about 3 years before my first MS symptom. I have it pretty regularly throughout the cooler months. Ironically, the shoulder seasons seem worse than winter; perhaps because I don't dress as warmly. Jimmylegs, I take my Ca/Mg supplements but not Zinc (yet...I've been meani...

I've been on Rebif 44 mcg for 5.5 years. I have stuck to the 3 times per week schedule without fail so far, although I have come close to forgetting and missing a dose. My typical schedule is M, W, Sat in the evenings. But I often change this up depending on what's going on in my social, work and tr...

Glyn, It's not bad form at all! Supportive, involved partners are a beautiful thing. I am not aware of any contraindications with any supplements while on Rebif. The Supplements and Natural Approach forums might be a good place to post your question as well. Jimmylegs could weigh in, I'm sure! Rebif...

dad23, I've been on Rebif 44 for 5 years. I did, at the beginning, get flu like symptoms for a few hours after injection, and ibuprofen used to do the trick for me. I don't suffer any of those symptoms any more so I don't take anything. every so often I'll wake up in the morning (I inject around din...

Bubba, I've been on Rebif for almost 5 years. I drink socially and haven't had any problems. No doctor has ever suggested that I abstain. I read that you are trying to decide between Rebif and Copaxone. I selected Rebif in part because of the somewhat flexible treatment schedule. Some weeks I do MWF...

Harry, I've followed your posts and felt that you were a wonderful and priceless partner for your wife. I hope you are healing from your loss. I have obtained a good lawyer as well as a good therapist. And friends bought me some acupuncture (hmmm...do I really need friends who buy me the gift of mor...

Thank you all for your replies. I have a wonderful network of supportive friends and family, but I don't think any of them really understand the undertone that MS casts on all this. I am grateful for this community because you do understand. I am indeed getting a good lawyer, as I have a lot to prot...

what is the value of a partner?
My husband is leaving me after 22 years of what I thought was a healthy and good marriage. I was blindsided by this. He feels that he has fallen in love with someone else. I do not think his reasons are at all related to my MS. Instead, I think this is a full-blown mid-life crisis complete with a va...
