Hi everybody....
I am very interesting.....when does rebif take effect (after how many time). I mean, do you have any improvement, or how long does it take to notice any improvement...if there is any.....
Hope you are not angry about these questions....
Thanks for your reply, and have a nice day.....
Sorry, my language is not very good...

Anita,
Your language is good enough.
When I started taking Rebif I did not have symptoms, so it is not easy to guess when it started working. About 4 months later, I had some very minor numbness that lasted a week or two. Since then, no symptoms at all. I have been free of symptoms for at least 2 years. So from my experience, I might guess that it takes at least 4 months to reach full effectiveness.
I do think it took 6-8 months for my body to adjust to Rebif. I had elevated liver enzymes in my blood tests about 6 months after starting. They returned to normal soon after that.
Maybe others will have more direct insights from their experience.

I've been on Rebif for 6 weeks now. (Had taken Copaxone previously for 13 months with 3 relapses in those 13 months.)
From what the MS Lifelines nurse told me, it takes about 4 months to have your body ramp up being fully "dosed".
Even being only on it for a few weeks, I've already notice some improvement in my MS symptoms.
Good Luck

Let me just say hello to you (we are from the same small country):
Lepo, da si se opogumila tudi tukaj na precej bolj globalnem forumu.
Glede rebifa ti žal ne morem pomagati, ker nisem na nobenih injekcijah - kljub težavam.
Od tu naprej se pogovarjamo pa na domačem terenu ;) - msforum.
So much about my slovenian accent ;).

Hello all-
In the studies, it takes 2 months for Rebif to show a dramatic effect on MRI lesions. Thats really the only thing that can be measured objectively. In terms of clinical measures, like relapses, that is going to vary by each individual. Remember though, the DMD's dont help "regain" anything...they help prevent futher loss. However, some patients that I work with do report improvement and that is always positive.

DMD = Disease Modifying Drug (which is shorthand for "it isn't a cure but it might help").Chicca wrote:Hi babe. I'm new to this forum and I'm italian (so I don't speak english very well).
