In MS you have to make your own decisions for you, a neuro is an experienced expert guide but not flawless. I am PPMS, no side effects with Rebif but it didn't help me at all. But that's me. Best of luck.

Hi LuvSunflowers,
Welcome to NT. I am glad you decided to post right away. We love new people, but as others have said, I am sorry you have MS.

I/2 of Rebif is just he same as Avonex, because Avonex is half the dosage of Rebif and both the same medications, Interferons. Have you had you Liver enzymes checked? That is the one I worried about when on Avonex.

I couldn't continue Avonex for more than one year. My Liver rebelled. I went to Copaxone, and then LDN only. We are all different.

Talk it over with your doctor, family, or special friend, but be your own advocate. Do you tolerate the side effects of Rebif? No chills , aches or pains? --or do yo pre-medicate?

I wish you lots of luck with this decision. It's a tough one.
Nice to meet you.
