Hi all,
my wife has been taking Avonex since 1999. In that time she's slowly gone from R-R to secondary. Currently the Avonex is well tolerated. However, recently we've had a couple of nasty incidents, where a UTI has flared up in a couple of hours, leading to a fever of 104. Last time, A&E doctor commented that the Avonex will mean infections can start unnoticed - until it's too late.
Has anyone temporarily stopped Avonex ? Say for a month ? What was your experience.
thanks in advance all. Now I've found this forum, I might post a lot more.
Temporarily stopping Avonex
Re: Temporarily stopping Avonex
Yes. The side effects were worse when I restarted Avonex.MSHusbandUK wrote:Has anyone temporarily stopped Avonex ? Say for a month ? What was your experience.

My hypothesis: excess insulin (hyperinsulinemia) plays a major role in MS, as developed in my initial post: http://www.thisisms.com/forum/general-discussion-f1/topic1878.html "Insulin – Could This Be the Key?"
