Anybody take Interferon and has no side effects?
Anybody take Interferon and has no side effects?
To date I've had 3 injections and experienced nothing like a side effect. This leads me to suspect that I'm on a placebo rather than real stuff, unless of course I'm very lucky and not suspect to any of the published side effects.
Anybody else take interferons with no side-effects?

No side effects - Avonex

Avonex side-effects
I experience general yuckiness for about 12 hours.
It's a bit of a worry when I'm on a drugs trail, and thinking that I'm going through all the inconnvienience just to jab myself with saline is very discouraging.
Knowing that there are people who have no side effects when taking the medication gives me hope to continue with it.
In a years time the trail turns from a blind study to giving everybody a real dose so I suppose I won't really know until then...Fingers Crossed.

Okay, I get huge red injection site reactions, but this beats relapses.
I've always had the reactions, but less on Rebif 22.
I did try the lower dose for a while, but my neuro noted that I was getting more exacerbations and so I went back on to Rebif 44.
I'm not sure if things would have been the same on Avonex, but I'll never know.

Now, I haven't had a liver test yet either????
The problem comes with the decision of weighing the unknown with the unknown.
We'll find out soon!
This is when I'll find oiut if I was on a placebo or one of the lucky few that gets no side effects. I hope that its the latter, I'm a bit nervous about finding out.
