Default Side Effects Awful

I was doing pretty good on the lowere dose of Rebif.

Last night I gave myself the highest dose. I woke up at 3am
and I had a fever and the body pain was terrible.

It also seemed to aggrivate the Fibro more and there was not one
spot in me that was not hurting. I even felt like my teeth were aching.

Took the meds to try and counter effect the symptoms. It helped a
little. All day today I was in bed. When I had the flu I didn't feel this bad.
Also felt nausea and did not want to eat anything. All I wanted was
something to drink.

I hate it, hate it. My anxiety is on full speed also.

Friday night I have to give myself another shot. I am now so scared
how I am going to feel. This is the dose that I am to stay on from now on.

When I was slowly graduating upward with the first doses, I didn't feel
to bad, but now jumped from 22mg to 44mg.

Has anyone else had a problem like this? If this is the way I am going
to feel each time I take a shot, I don't know if I will make it.

Thanks for letting me rant. Telling you about my feelings at least I
know that you really understand.

My children are wonderful about all this, even though they have seen
me go through a lot in all these years, you have to personally go through
the symptoms to understand.
