Rebif titration

I have had ms for probably 10 years or so but just recently was diagnosed. I am titrating up my rebif. Does the dose go by weight or do they give the same dose to everyone? I find it hard to believe a big guy and me would take the same amount. Any thoughts?

I started with 22 mcg and now take 44 mcg. I'm 5'3 and 112 pound women. I do find Rebif more tolerant than Avonex despite the 3 shots I take compared to one with Avonex. Good Luck!

I began with the 22 and now, I take the 44. I understand what you mean by this, but, I guess the medicine is strong enough for anyone, no matter their weight or height. I just wish it didn't have so many darn side effects!-Lisa

China Rat Club! :o) Too funny!....Been taking Rebif for several months, since its a pre-filled syringe, I'm guessing the 44mcg is standard for all of us. Haven't heard anything different. So far, the stuff is working for me, so no complaints about Rebif this direction! (and it IS all about me!) :o) BTW same story, had MS circa 10 yrs dx'd in April of this year. (what a goofy freakin' disease!)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
