AVONEX TIP #21
I started Avonex in Dec. '06 right after I was dx'ed. The first
few times the symptoms really did suck!!! I wasn't sure
which day to do them and my neuro did say they are best
done in the evening, also wasn't sure which day would be
best to take them. He told me he would probably do them on
Sunday evening, he said that Monday's suck anyway! LOL
This is what I finally figured out to do and did tell my dr. and I think it is like
someone else had said that they will usually tell you to do whatever works best
for you.
About 30 min to an hour before my injection I will take 2 1/2 Tylenol PM. Then I've figured out that if I am sleeping and begin to get chills and wake up, I wake up think, "I'm cold", then it's like the sleepiness overtakes those thoughts!
Don't know if that will work for anyone else or if they have tried it but it works great for me! I do have to say that those symptoms have lessened over time though which is great!!!!
Oh yeah....one of the nurses did call from Bio-gen (Avonex makers) and she hadn't heard the Tylenol PM thing but said if it worked for me to go with it. Also, she did mention the water thing that someone else here did. She said to make sure and drink plenty of water the day before, the day of and the day after your injection to make sure and keep yourself very hydrated! Posted by H e a t h e r
