this bearable--my family and friends are still  a little freaked so you all are my support!Research: Ibuprofen Best for Treating Post-Avonex-Injection Side Effects AvonexThis study tried to compare ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and corticosteroids for the treatment of flu-like symptoms that accompany Interferone-beta-1a (Avonex) injections. The result was that there was no clear winner, but ibuprofen seemed to help the most with symptoms immediately following the injection. "OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and prednisone in the treatment of interferon beta-1a (IFNbeta-1a) flu-like syndrome (FLS)... CONCLUSIONS: No prophylactic treatment for flu-like syndrome seems to be superior to another in terms of overall well-being during the first month of IM IFNbeta-1a therapy. However, ibuprofen confers better control of symptoms immediately following IM IFNbeta-1a injection."
