I am so sorry you are going through such a rough patch. I wish I had some majic words to make you feel better. But unfortunately I only have my experiences to go on. I'm not a doctor and suggest you talk to yours.

My observations, first of all Rebif is not for symptom relief. It is for slowing the progression of the disease. A long term therapy. Personally I've been on it and a couple other and found the side effects more trouble then the possible benefits. I also think that it should not be making you worse.

Maybe you are having an exacerbation, flare-up, and the only thing I know of that "may" help is steroids, either IV or oral.

Please talk to your doctor. I feel your pain and frustration and want you to know you are not alone.
