The rebif 22's are nice and small, as am I, and so far so good mostly. If I have trouble I may think about upping the dose again. I find naproxen to be the best premed because it lasts for such a long time. Since rebif is hard on your liver I try to avoid tylenol like the plauge. Course the naproxen and ibuprofen are hard on your kidneys. But I like my liver more than my kidneys anyolewhoo.
Smaller needles, cool. Can live with that since I'm a needle phobe, LOL! Thanks for the advice about tylenol.
