If you stay on an interferon, Avonex, Rebif or Beta, you are going to have the same issues...flu-like symptoms. If you switch to Copaxone, you won't have those symptoms, but there are other issues to deal with, but at least not that.

I don't know how long you've been on Avonex, or whether you've titrated up to the full dose, but you might consider a drug holiday for a bit and see if the symptoms are still there...or go back to half dose and see what that does...just some ideas that others have tried.

When I was on Beta, I slowly titrated up b/c I was having so much trouble adjusting. Every time I would up the dose, I would have problems. But like I already said, I am very (emphasize that) med sensitive.

Good luck...I think we all feel like science experiments! I currently am...but that's a horse of different color!
