works but makes me sick as a dog for 2 days!!
I have been on Rebif for three years. I can't really say if it is helping our not. I guess time will tell. I still experience the flu symtoms.
Working / Worked
Yes it works great! I have been on and off because the medicine stings very badly. I had to get used to the side effects. Every night I take the medicine if I don't take a pain reliever/fever reducer, I feel very sore and sick (flu like symptoms) the next day.
Working / Worked
I think the rebif leaves me with the shakes.
Working / Worked
So far, so good! No side effects except for bruising at the injection sites, but goes away by the time I have to inject in that spot again.
It started out ruff, brusing and flu symptoms but my body has ajusted after one of my nurses told me to take all three of my medicines out for the week instead of 30min before shot time.

That help a great deal

Working / Worked
Seems to be working, I have had more energy than I've had in awhile. I'll
keep m fingers crossed.
Rebif seems to have worked as i have had less relapses whilst on it and they are alot less severe. Have headaches and site reactions as side effects.
I was not happy with the side effects.
