I may be having problems with Aubagio and my Doctor is thinking of switching me to Rebif. Is anyone using that? Please share anything about it - and about injections instead of pills. Aubagio is doing well with MS but may be causing the side affect of much diarrhea and very frequent movements! Like 5-6 a day. If it is the medicine, I guess I'll switch - but I don't like the idea of injections. Any personal experience advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
The shots are tolerable. Make sure you listen when you are taught how to give yourself the shots, I didn't. Ask what happen if you give yourself a miss shot, it happens but if your told what to expect it quickly becomes not that bad. Ask of potential side effects and report any of them to your doctor. I'm not saying I'm not a sensitive person but crying at coffee commerials is a side. If I knew what to look for, life with Rebif would have been grand. So I didn't have experiences near @A MyMSTeam Member but I had side effects. Again, I thought Rebif was a serviceable MS treatment, the shots were easy to get accustom to but, ultimately, it wasn't the DMD for me but you have to try right.
Rebif put me in Hospital twice, be careful and be aware. Like many medications, it doesn't always agree with everyone!
Thank you very much!
The first med I started on was Interferon, then copaxone and from my personal opinion I hate needles with a passion, I did learn to fine tune the needle depth which helped and found the better spots to inject through trial and error . On gilenya now and loving it,pills with no side effects (for me).
