Common side effects when starting MS injection treatments can include:
• Temporary soreness at injection site
• Flu-like symptoms
• Itching or swelling where injected
• Possible mild fever or chills
• Headaches

It's important to know that not everyone experiences the same side effects, and they may vary in intensity from person to person. A MyMSTeam member shared that using an ice pack after injections can help reduce discomfort. When self-injecting, be careful about injection site placement - avoid areas near joints or nerves.

If you experience any severe reactions like difficulty breathing, full-body rash, or severe dizziness, contact your healthcare provider immediately as these could indicate a serious allergic reaction.
