Avonex didn't work for me, the flu symptoms never went away after three months, I am now on Techfidera which works for me and I have been on it two years

I injected Avonex for approximately 10 years, the flu-like symptoms NEVER went away, the side effects lasted 7 days then after approximately 5 or 6 years the side effects only lasted 3 days!!! ☹️ My neurologist told me that the side effects should have stopped after about 6 months!!! 😯 They didn't, so I DID!!! 🤬 Approximately 5 years clear of injecting Avonex; ALL GOOD!!! 🤫

You can't have your neuro file an appeal to keep you on Plegridy? My insurance told me I needed to try 3 older medications (injectibles) before they would approve me for Gilenya. My neurologist filed an appeal because Gilenya was the medication her and I decided was best for me. The insurance company gave in.

I am on Rebif I take 2 ibuprofen an hour before injection drink lots of waters
sometimes I get the water with electrolytes in it ! They say avonox and Rebif is the same but it's not do you research and if you wanna have our neo appeal it ou can

Avonex is working for me however it makes me exhausted day of injection and often the next day. Flu symptoms not so bad as my body is used to Avonex.
