Anyone out there have MS and take Avonex? Do you have any side effects from the Avonex?
Diagnosed with MS in March. Take Avonex shot once a week. Lately have been feeling sick to my stomach from it and wondering how long the flu type symptoms from the medicene last.
if you put a whole bunch of nicotine patches on your body, would it really kill you?
Answers:
I have taken copaxone, beta seron, and currently on rebif which is a form of avonex. The pharmaceutical company or distributor providing your therapy[not the pharmacy] should be having a specialized nurse calling you every week or so especially considering your recent diagnosis, to see how you are tolerating and to help you learn coping methods while waiting for your next neuro. appt.. Do you take the inj. right before going to bed? That may help by letting you sleep through the most yucky feeling part. Also try to take acetamenephin[Tylenol] or ibuprofen[Advil] 30 minutes before dosing. Keep your dr. appts. and tell them everything you find disturbing about this, even keep a list of '??'s you want to ask. Doc may be able to try a different scrip if this one doesn't work out. Definitely have your blood work done when doc says to, there's a reason for this. Try to be as healthy as you can possibly be, it really does help. Good luck and all the best hope and wishes.

no i have avonex and take ms for itI have been on Avonex for 4 years. After 3 had to stop for almost a year because of liver problems, then back on. I have never got over the flu like symptoms. Not as bad as when I first started but I still have them. Make sure that you watch your liver. I started having problems with mine about a year or so in.
