Hi all,
I just started rebif in July and I've already had a relapse. What have your experiences been? I've heard some good things, so I'm hoping for the best.
Thanks

I've had two very minor relapses. The first had me scuttling for steroids, the second time I decided to ride it out and it passed after a week.

I am fairly sure that the rebif makes a significant difference. My last mri showed that my brain lesions were inactive.

I have been on it nearly 6 years and have no complaints. My advice would be to give it more of a chance, but talk to your neuro.

I''ve had no new lesions since starting back on Rebif in 2006. I was off of Rebif 2003-2006 & had new lesions show up on MRI.

I have been on it for about 11 years on and off. I do not like the side effects of scar tissue, rashes and flu type symptoms. I am starting Tedridera next month when I run out of Rebif.

But Rebif worked for me as far as keeping my MS at bay. I have not progressed much in since 2002 when I first started taking it. But I am really tired of it and ready for a change. If Tecfidera doesn't work, I'll probably go back on it. Best of luck with it.

I hate the new auto injector and that is what caused me to want to change meds. I like the old hand manual injection method.

No relapses since I began Rebif. Little things here and there, but I have had no new or active lesions on my MRI's. Talking to your doctor is probably the best idea.
