MS lifelines nurse did not feel this was associated with the rebif....My neuro and I have discussed me going off and either trying Tysabri or Copaxone. I also get horribly achy with the rebif, again even though I medicate. neuro thinks maybe effects aren't wearing off from one shot to the next. All I know is I feel horrible most of the time with Sundays being my best day as I do my shots on MWF. I might also add that I dodthem at bedtime.
my point is this...I am thinking about just stopping for awhile and seeing if I don't feel alot better. Anyone else go thru this?

I don't take Rebif, but do take another interferon...Betaseron. I stopped for the week before my colonoscopy because I figured I'd need the energy just to prep for that.

Guess what? I started feeling better NOT using that stupid interferon drug!
Why do we have to feel so crummy IN THE HOPES THAT IT WILL DO SOMETHING?
