"Avonex PS" beings again....
took it back awhile ago, didn't go as well as I thought it would, but
that could be due to the fact, they gave a full HIGH dose, for starters dum dum dr.s should of been ahalf a dose, but "back" to normal "Avonex" I went heh maybe this time round, it'll have a better OUT come on it. Wish Moi

If their r other's on it, plzz do give advice on it "Thanx" .

all I know is its a
"strouger & more sideeffects" than the normal "Avonex" ...

Never heard of it Brat. Is it an increased dose, like Rebif? Anyway, I had horrible sides from the regular Avonex, so no way would I try a stronger one.

Good luck, I hope it works for you.

When I first started I pre medicated with an advil and a tylenol and then took an advil and a tylenol every 4 hours. I don't need to any more. Now I take one advil and one tylenol when I take my shot. Then I take another tylenol if I start to feel cruddy. I take my shot in the evening because sometimes it makes me tired.

I like the tylenol arthritis, it seems to help the aches and pains better.

Normal "Avonex" which is power form, is "discontinued"
since this coming month...

having to change to "Avonex PS" now...
strouger, ant GREAT but what can u do, just be my charm...

SallyC sry, it's be FOREVER, only come in from time to time...your in my thoughts tho... Hope your doing WELL...

Brat, I was on the prefilled syringes for a long time, just Dc'd it due to a pair of nasty flares this fall. I had very few side effects switching from the powder to the PS form. Some of the initial reactions did resurface, but they faded before long.

I found out, quite by accident, that I did much better with side effects if I did my shot in the late morning to early afternoon. My worst symptoms tended to come about 12 hours after my shot.

Also, treated with a 2 tabs of Arthritis Strength Tylenol, an hour before the shot, and every six to 8 hours the rest of that day and all the next.

Good luck to you, I was happy to be done with the chemistry set of the vials and powders. If they're still sending the instruction DVD, see if they'll send you a copy. I'd be on it still if doc would let me.
