I am on Rebif Rebidos 44mg 3xs per week and I always get the "Flu like" symptoms about 4 hrs after taking it. I get the body aches, sore stiff neck, headache and body shocks for almost a whole day. Any ideas on if it gets better with time or tricks and remedies I can try? Because flu like symptoms 3 times a week is becoming old :(

I also am on it n take aleve which lasts 12 hours. With it I have no symptoms. Try it n see how it does. Without it I can't deal with the symptoms even after 5 years I will still get them. I take it 1/2 hour before injection

I used to be on that also. I found if I did my shot right before bedtime I slept through the worst of it
