I am experiencing burning cold pain (if that makes any sense). It happening in my arms and legs. I thought it might be side effect from the Avonex. I have been taking it for two years now and thought I had the side effects to where they are just mild. But the past two or three weeks it is like from the beginning. Within two hours of the shot I am getting chills and then burning sensation over skin. It use to take hours before side effects hit me. I take my shot on Monday at the neuro office. But I am still having the burning chilling sensation but no fever.
I am waiting on the results of a brain MRI to see if changes in MS. I told my neurologist about having pain on top of head (occipital neuralgia but different) it cause severe burning, stabbing pain but also weakness and tremors.. where I think I am chilled but can't stop shaking.
So anyone else have this? Is this just the Avonex side effect or MS?
My family is coming down this weekend. I want to feel good for them. Anything medication / herbal to stop the burning?
Thank you for your help.
Hugs, Bunni

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
It could be a symptom of MS. I would contact
my doctor and ask if he thinks it may be the medicine or if he has any advice. I wish I had some words of wisdom, but I can't seem to do anything at all, when It happens to me.
Good luck and best wishes!!
but I also cant feel heat or cold lately so maybe that is why...lol
Best wishes hun and gl with the MRI tests...i just got my 2 yr MRI results and there were no changes...I was stressed for a week waiting for the results. Seems the Avonex has slowed down the damage.
