Next dose

So I am on my next level of Rebif which is almost double what I have been taking the last two weeks. Wish me luck, I just got use to the 8.8 💌 on another note Anyone else feel like a human pin cushion ?

GL! I hope it helps things calm down.

I just feel pissed off at them when they burn for an hour, but mine is Copaxone and it’s made of the devil.

Yeah the last ones weren’t bad this one hurt! Like a bee sting and I fee like I am running out of open spots lol then I will have the Acthar injections soon which are daily— I am gonna run out of room haha

Are you charting your sites? It’s hard when you have a daily on top of it. When I was doing fertility shots, I used my abdomen for that only. Your Rebif nurse may have some tips on ways to reduce the sting.

Yeah I have my journal they gave me to use. She just said to take ibuprofen about 30 min before my injections to lessen the overall side effects

Lots of water helps too! And doing them at night before bed.

With Copaxone, I would use the gel pack they sent if the injection stung after. Some use before they do the injection to help numb the area.

You can do it! Human pincushion! Absolutely! I’ve been on Rebif for 13 years.

I have been on Rebif since about 2005 with no issues. MS Lifelines with Rebif are fantastic as well. I understand how you feel. At least it’s not every day. 🤷‍♀️🦋. Remember you have a great support team here.
