MondayAVONEX TIP #6
Good luck, being on therapy is definitely the right choice! I
was on Avonex for almost 2 years. I believe I have a pretty high
pain tolerance. But for the 1st 6 weeks on Avonex, "flu like
symptoms" was an understatement. Just to warn you, it really
made me feel awful!!! But those side effects did lessen to the
point that I didn't get them at all. So hopefully you don't feel
terrible, but if you do, try to stick it out. As I said, in my experience it did get MUCH better. I found that drinking a lot of water on shot day helped a lot. (Along with ibuprofen and aleve). GOOD LUCK!!! Posted by Beth Labels: Avonex |
