Anybody take Interferon and has no side effects?
The permutations are:
1. was on placebo and now only have mild or no side effects, or
2. Was on real and don't get side effects
All that I do know so far is that I'm lucky enough to not get the nasty flu symptoms that some other people get. Fingers crossed that it continues this way
I've had four jabs now and the "advertised" side effects are all there. 8 to 24 hours after the treatment I get headaches, high temperatures and chills and shivering, lasts abot 8 hours followed by a couple of days of feeling completely wipped out.
The good news I suppose is that I'm obviously not on a placebo anymore
Sounds familiar! Although 2 years on, the side effects of the standard Avonex have lessened considerably.........hope your side effects ease off. Panadol is good!ElJacko wrote:Update:

Sounds like it! Sounds familiar! Although I had distressing side effects for about 6 months, two years on they have significantly decreased. Hope yours ease. Panadol might help?ElJacko wrote:Update:

Re: Avonex side effects
Acetaminophen, Tylenol, might help. However, I found ibuprofen to be much more effective when I was taking Avonex. Try 400 mg at the time of your shot and then 400 mg as needed every 4 to 6 hours after that.ElJacko wrote:Update:
