Rebif

Guys rebif is not for me. I was on Avonex and due to no medical aid I had to settle with Rebif. And I struggle with the side effects. Anyone who has Discovery Keycare Plus Medical Aid who can give me more information about MS medication and consultations on medical aid?

Rebif to Tecfidera.

Hello everyone, I've just swopped medication due to my body fighting my rebif medication. I got on so good with the Rebif felt like I was before Ms. Now I'm in a lot of pain in my arm and back. Does anyone else experience pain with MS ? I'm also having or had a relapse.

Rebif

Hi guys, I've just started receiving Rebif this month, I was wondering if it is safe to sometimes drink alcohol while taking the therapy? I know it is not good to take any, we all know that, but is it okay to take a glass or two of white wine sometimes when you go out with friends, what are your tho...

Rebif

Hi everybody! I’ve had my first relaps in February 2022 and got diagnosed in April and started taking Rebif in May. I’ve had flu-like symptoms the first couple of months, but not anymore. I do my blood analysis regularly and everything is great. But I just find it too difficult to get the injection...
