I have been on Rebif since diagnosis and have had no relapse. I have had new symptoms here and there but nothing constant or consistent. Hope this helps!

I was on Rebif but after 2 relapses and tons of side effects, I was switched to Betaseron. I was still having relapses and side effects so I was put on an experimental treatment called Campath which is a chemo medicine.

What suggestions did you doctor give you in terms of a disease modifying therapy?

hi well it doesn't matter- about the med- its -guess it could be meds - stress- family issues- anything can bring on a relapses with me anyway- hope you don't get worked up- cause that's not good- do some research on things- meds- you be ok!!! hugs!!

Unfortunately everyone responds differently, and what has worked for one will not work for others.

I have been on rebif since end 2007 and after the first 3 months suddenly felt fantastic. I have two bouts of optic neuritis and bad legs but nothing else.

I believe that my gradual improvement over the past 3 years has been due to a change of diet and more exercise.

I would be inclined to wait and see how long the relapse lasts before you try another med. Have you talked to anyone at the drug company? They usually like to know if you have a problem.

You don't mention what drug you are on but I went to your profile and it says that you are Copaxone.

I have seen people on Copaxone deteriorate and have some bad side effects. You should talk with your neuro and see what other drug you could take.

I am on Rebif and have done the best on it. I have been on it for about 9 years on and off and am still walking, talking and not in pain and no real new symptoms. I can see perfectly. The co-pay is now free but I have insurance for the rest. But they help you if you don't have insurance.

Talk to your neuro. Sounds like you may need an adjustment. Really hope that you find something that works for you.

Best of luck.

Thank yhatou ALL, Doctor wants to change me to either Tecfidera or Tysabrl, not sure what I am going to do yet, want to see my MRI, that I am having nx week first before I decide.

I agree with many of the other responders. 1 med could be horrible for you but great for another. I started on Avonex had no flares, but couldn't spend another year of headaches and vomiting. I was switched to Copaxone. I thought it was great because I got no side effects. 1 year later I was in an anormace amount of pain each evening and was loosing leg strength. I took time out of work and started Tysabri. It worked wonderful for 18 months. I got scared about PML. When testing came out and checked for the JV Virus (think that's what it's called. I was positive for it and had to say good-bye to Tysabri. When I went back to work and was once again under lots of stress I started Rebif, but couldn't take the side effects while working so I stopped. My neurologist kept trying to get me to resign. (too bad we don't all make the $ drs make) I was put on monthly steroids until Gilenya was released. Was on that with 0 relapses. Went in for a 1 year check-up only to be told that my migraine med was found to interact negatively with Gilenya & had led to a few deaths. Stopped that and went back on Rebif. This time it was giving me UTIs & severe headaches. One of the UTIs hit me so hard that I had to go to PT to learn to walk again. 2 weeks ago I started Tecfidera -- no side effects. Hope this is the winning one. I finally retired on disability 1 year ago. Maybe work or life stress does have a part in the # of relapses. Just remember, everyone reacts so differently to various meds.
