Titration

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭

I took my first injection of Avonex last night. My doctor has me titrating so it was only 1/4 of a dose. The only side effects I've had are a sore leg and swelling in my eyes. Has anyone had no symptoms on the first injection but did when you increased the dose? I'm just trying to prepare the best I can for things to come!

That's so good to hear. I didn't get sick on my first dose, which was only 1/4 and I was worried that was just bc the dose was so small I hope its how how the rest of my treatment goes

Yes. Once on the full dose it is very important to take something before taking. I have no issues with avonex.

Thanks! I did hydrate very well and used Aleve and also was told to eat a decent dinner. Did you titrate with yours?
