Yes I did I called rebif line who told me to call the neurologist..he keep a eye on it till it got better ...he had me come in that day to look at it.....Notify your doctor immediately if you have any symptoms of an injection site reaction, and especially if you have pain at the site of the injection.Depending on the cause, injection site reactions may be treated with warm compresses, ice,

I would speak to your doctor as any site infection needs attention.
Worse case scenario is that you can get a very bad infection and need it dealt with.

Also you could contact the drug company. Here in Australia they have assistance for rebif users and are always very supportive.

Cathy posted almost the same time I did. Great minds think alike!

Call your doc ASAP. In the mean time, can you take a sterile cotton ball and dip the site in either diluted iodine or peroxide

I had this happen twice in the stomach injection sites. I never called the doctor and it got better on it's own.

Not that I'm saying you shouldn't call...you should. I'm just one of those people that doesn't like to call them for every little thing. I'm stubborn like that ;)

Besides, I'm left with scarring now. Maybe if it had been treated properly I wouldn't have those scars.

Jill, thats Right .... ;)

Cathy

I've not had any problems with the Rebif. That's sounds more like my reactions to Capoxone. Ice the area and call the doctor and the company. Good luck!!

Dave, I was just wondering what become of your infection

Cathy

My infection cleared up, I used peroxide and alcohol than used kenalog cream on it, My first available doctors appt is tomarrow, so instead of the infection I want answers on my fever issues, I've kept a log of my temps and they did a boatload of blood work last time I was there and said things were good. I did notice that the alcohol wipe I used that night seemed pretty dry, so instead of using the alcohol packs they send I'm just using a cotton ball and a bottle of Alcohol from now on and I'm going to skip the stomach area for a few weeks.
I guess I should be happy that after almost a year of the shots this is the only problem I've had besides one red dot once. Thanks for all the replys
Take Care

Dave,
I don't use my legs due to the reaction I had when I was on the Copaxone.
I do love the Rebif and how I feel on it!
Lori

Dave,

Thanks for letting us know you getting better so we are not worrying about you.

Glad things are going better,

I had infections on my leg and I put neosporin on them twice a day for about three days and they cleared up.
