i'm not on rebif but i get vertigo with or without coffee

yes, I would take the caps off first(yes I know a no no but its the only way I could do it) I don't drink coffee but I do drink diet pepsi and I have vertigo but I blame that on my MS lol I take Altoids 3 to 4 times a day and if I feel a dizzy spell coming on...the mint oil in it helps to a certain degree...not a cure but it can help and at least u have fresh breath :)

thanks i have a whole bag of peppomints the lifesaver ones i will try that.

not sure how much peppermint is in those but I know Altoids have enough for me...but good luck and maybe the lifesavers has enough ;)

i did the peppomints and they worked thanks you guys rock.

The needle cap is a little hard to get off when it's in the auto injector. I was taught by my nurse to pull the cap fast and hard so it came off with as little leakage of Rebif as possible. If the med is on the outside of the needle when you do the shot - it will sting! I still see a small drop on the tip of the needle after I take the cap off so I will take an alcohol wipe and slide it lightly into the end of the injector to remove that drop of medicine. Then I let the alcohol dry because that would burn too if it wasn't dry.

I finally tried doing manual injections and I liked I a lot better. Shocked me because I am a big baby!! :-)

I FINALLY STARTED PULLING OF MY CAPS AND LOADING IT AFTER TWO MISFIRES FROM THOSE DAMN CAPS.

I'm on copaxone, but had the same issue with the caps, went to manuel injections, after way to many misfires. By the way, if you do have a misfire, you can call the support center for your drug and they will replace so many a month free of charge.

Good luck and God Bless - Rana'

Sorry, don't do caffeine, no help in that area.

You know I've noticed more and more that when I have alot of caffeene that the MS seems alot worse. Including vertigo. Are you a smoker? That triggers vertigo sometimes for me too.

Welcome. I am new as well. I use copoxone and self inject. I found it easier. The autoinject was a pain for me. Also, Caffeine can make me blurry! I am a diet coke addict, and find it can make me blurry if i drink too much. Welcome!

i know the cigarettes are bad i'm starting the patch in a few weeks. its really hard to change your whole life so fast but i'm trying. thanks to everyone that replied i so much appreciate it thanks again. love and support to all.

I'm not on rebif...but my father has vertigo and He has to stay away from coffee, chocolate and red wine.
