The pharmacist also called me to explain a little more about Rebif. He told me to take Aleve or Tylenol before the shots and that most people take it at bedtime so the flu-like symptoms do not bother you as much. He said that I will start on a little dose and then in two weeks another dose and after that the full dosage. I guess it is becoming a little more real now. While I am still in a state of denial, I guess when I start the shots 3 times a week it will become a little more real. As for lesions, the neurologist only found two and faint bands so I am hoping it means that they caught it early. Here's hoping so.
No worries at all - I've been on R for 4 years now with no real problems. I take Ibuprofen before the shots because that's what works best for me - it's all a big experiment for each person. I find that being well hydrated and exercising also helps what I refer to as "shot yuckiness" (nice technical term huh?) go away.

R has worked very well for me - I wish the same for you!
