Hi, I'm on Avonex at the moment but have had the side effects from the start and they have not gone away. I changed the day that I did my injection and everything just shifted along - I used to do my injection on Monday evening and then had the side effects Tuesday and Wednesday, then I moved it to Saturday evening and now get the side effects on Sunday and Monday. There's not been any change to the actual side effects, just when I get them. I'm not sure if this helps, but I'd be surprised if just changing the day would bring on the side effects again if they have worn off. My ms nurse said there wouldn't be any problems changing the day, I was worried I might end up with a bit of a 'double dose' situation, but it was just the same xx

that's really interesting Mel as the nurse that came to train me when I started avonex made a really big deal about how there HAS to be at least a week between injections and that if I started on a wed and wanted to switch to a monday I'd have to do thursday the first week, friday the second week etc until I worked round to the monday! I was a tad overwhelmed by the 'new drug, mahoosive needle' thing at the time so didn't give it much thought but now think she might have been a bit over the top! x
