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?

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...

I do my blood analysis regularly and everything is great. But I just find it too difficult to get the injection...

Hi everyone, Did those currently/previously on rebif had weight gain as one of Rebif side effects? I was diagnosed in 2017 and rebif is my first DMT.
