Hey AynaDee,
Sorry, but this is longish since I'm trying to be diplomatic and balanced, and at the same time, offer info without bias ... and I'm irked so it isn't easy. The nurse might be right, it might be a "common side effect" but she knows this from a phone call? Telepathic diagnostic capabilities? Perhaps she's a seer as well as a medical professional and that enables her to differentiate OVER THE PHONE between common side effects and more serious, and less common ones. I spent time yesterday looking for articles, and for images, then writing and re-writing a response, but bottom line is a) I am not a DR. and you need to be seen by one, and b) I am also not clairvoyant/a seer and I am responding to verbal descriptions much as the "nurse" did. Difference is, she is the one that should have said, well we probably need to have a look just in case...not me. 1st: Mine were like 3" blobs, but they spread directly from the injection site and were red ...never purple, and I saw a Dermatologist even before my neuro saw them. Neuro wouldn't risk it, ah well. 2nd: This isn't true of any other DR. I heard of, but mine does not allow abdominal injections, period...a higher risk of tissue necrosis. Now this happened more with Betaseron, but it can happen with any injectable and this is one reason why verbal descriptions are no good; does purple mean ...... or does it mean; what is the quality/texture/....of the area....? 3rd: I noticed that you are quitting Rebif, you still need to be seen. PLEASE, get your Family Practice person to look at your reddish purple spots, and then 1) come back here and laugh at this ole toot for being worried and irked... ;-) and 2) find a different neuro My dogs are calling, yup, the pup just howled that they need to find a different owner.... ![]() tante [quote=AynaDee;771387] Quote:
