Rebif v Betaferon

Hi, I was diagnosed with MS just over 2 weeks ago. I was given the option of 6 treatments. I then narrowed it down to three: 1) rebif, 2) tecfidera and 3) betaferon. I just ruled out tecfidera because of the link to PML. From your own experience would you recommend rebif or betaferon? They both see...

Rebif and Rebiject II

I've been sitting here for 3 hours trying to get the courage to inject the rebif. The noise scares the crap out of me and it hurts. it's amazing how people on here act like these injections are no big deal.

Stopping Rebif early

Has anyone had any experience with stopping Rebif outright or do you need to wean off it? I'm not due back to my Neuro until 25th June and I know I'm going to come off Rebif because I just can't handle the side effects. I'm not the same person, I'm miserable, crying all the time, feeling very anxiou...

Rebif

Well I've done my first injection with the Rebismart whilst the nurse was here earlier. So far so good - bit stingy going in to the side of my right thigh. The nurse suggested not taking paracetamol/ibuprofen until I see if I need it or not. I've got a mild headache now and aching neck and shoulders...

rebif injections

Rebif v Copaxone

Hi all, I've come for some advice. I recently had an appointment with my ms nurse to discuss treatment options. There's so much to take in. I initially went in there think I don't want any pills and not keen on self injecting. Which only left infusions. I wanted Lemtrada until she told me about the ...

? Frozen rebif

I'm currently on holiday in Florida and am unsure if my Rebif has frozen. Fortunately, I've brought a thermometer and noticed that the temperature in the fridge had fallen to between 0-2 degrees. I've been adjusting the temperature of the fridge to keep it around 3-4 degrees. I'm sure that the bub...
