I had a difficult time with the side effects. The flu like symptoms get old.... fast. I recently had an MRI of the brain and have a lot of lesions. The neuro wants to change me to Copaxone, but i am not sure. Seems that he doesn't think the Rebif is slowing things down. the shots arent hard to give myself but burn a little and leave red blotches for a few days that fade just in time for another round!
I have been taking it since March 09 - I have had no flu symptoms but I did have very painful bruising with the injector. I have switched to manual and it has been much better. I did end up with having to take prozac due to it- I lost all patience. All and all it is alot better than my sx!
I've been taking three days a week and never miss a dose. I had the flu-like stmptoms for a few months, but they're going away. I am usually weak the day after an injection, however but it's nothing I can't live with. I take 4 Advils right before the injections always to keep the side effects from rearing their ugly heads.
