Plegridy

I was diagnosed with MS last September. I put my extremely high blood pressure down to a flu jab and COVID jab but it was neither. I had a bad relapse in May 2021 with dizziness, sickness, facial numbness and nearly fell over in Reception at work. My question is that I don’t see many people menti...

Plegridy or continue with Avonex

Hello, I have been on Avonex for 5 years and have got used to the flu like symptoms I feel for 24-36 hours. However, I have really struggled for over a year to inject myself and both thumbs are now weak/ damaged. Sometimes it can take 10 minutes of hard pressing (and serious sweating!) to inject. I ...

Plegridy update

Started Plegridy in December and everything seems to be going okay but still waiting to go for the blood test. But my friends do make me laugh. I showed them the injections which are big chunks of plastic and they said "I'm destroying the environment with plastic injections." They have no longer t...

PLEGRIDY Injections

Hi.. I’m currently on plegridy injection, does anyone else have varied side effects every time you inject (fortnightly). Some weeks I’m fine and other weeks I have flu-like reactions and massive headaches for days and it wipes me out and I’m bedbound because of the side effects. Thank you
