Change to something else. Sure wouldn't put up with

Hi, Sally,
Thank you for the welcome back. I was diagnosed with Lymphocitic colitis in December, and I've been on meds for it, since then. Meds weren't helping, so I tried going off Rebif for 4 weeks-the diarrhea began to improve. Re-started Rebif-it returned after 2nd injection. Went off Rebif again, just to make sure. When I restarted, I used the new Rebidose injector, setting is higher than what I used on the pen, and I got the D, after the 1st injection. Still, did all 3 injections for the week, to be certain. (Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment.)
Not sure what else to try for MS. Weight is back down to 74#s. MS Specialist went home until end of September. I had an appt. scheduled for the 27th, and her receptionist called today.
I'm hoping that the LC will go into remission, and I will be able to tolerate the Rebif.
Chelle
