MondayAVONEX TIP #9
I was on Avonex when first dx, starting around Jan. 2001. I always
made sure to take ibuprofen before my shot which I always took at
night before I went to bed. If I FORGOT to take any kind of pain
reliever, I would have the flu like symptoms, sometimes waking up
from them. But that was the ONLY problem I had. (Which could be
alleviated by taking ibuprofen.) Unfortunately for me, my next MRI
showed more lesions so my neuro switched me to Copaxone. (but
that is another story) I really liked that it was a once a week shot (even though it is IM). It was as if I could "forget" my MS most of the time. I didn't have a shot everyday or every other day to remind me. I felt good while I was on it and had NO relapses. I wish you the best of luck..... If you ever need to talk...please look me up. p.s. Isn't this place THE BEST!!! Thanx Stan!!! *HUGS* to you! ~Amy Labels: Avonex |
