Avonex

Avonex
when I was first diagnosed in 2000. I was only able to handle the pain of the side effects for about a year before I had to change to beta serotonin . Which I stayed on only for about two years.

Encouraging folks to stay on their MS treatment
In May or June I'll be having my next MRI to see if going back on my old drug (
Avonex
) after being off treatment for a year worked. I'm 68 and I was on
Avonex
for many years.

Calling Former & Current Aubagio Users
I had been self-injecting
Avonex
(1997) since I was dx in 1994. I just started Menopause too. Ugh. I didn't realize that Menopause causes substantial hair loss too. I love the simplicity of Aubagio yet the side effects have really been awful. The GI Issues and horrible diarrhea, etc.

Any Long-term Aubagio Users?
Hi All, As you know, I switched to Aubagio (after self-injecting
Avonex
for 25 years) last year. April 2023 has been one full year of my new treatment. I enjoy the simplicity of the once-a-day pill, but I don't enjoy the side effects (hair thinning & loss, GI issues: bad gas, diarrhea).

Memory & Brain Supplements
I retired at age 45 (dx May 1994 started
Avonex
September 1997). MS-related fatigue and cognitive dysfunction forced me out of my student affairs position. How has the Mon Ster impacted your cognitive abilities? šš¤š

Mis-diagnosed infection
Not sure where to begin, but three weeks ago, after my
Avonex
injection (12 hrs. later) I noticed two leisons on my skin right about where my injections have been. One leison was draining & both areas were pink & painful. I couldn't figure out what it was.

New Covid Vaccine with My New DMT 2022?
BTW, I switched from
Avonex
(1997-2022) to Aubagio in mid-April 2022. I finally went up to the full 14 mg dose in early June. So, this is the long way of my asking my fellow MSers, for those of you who are on Aubagio, did you have to change anything to get your Covid boosters?

Tysabri for me
After my diagnosis only the ABC drugsā
avonex
, betaseron and copaxoneāwere available and I had intolerable symptoms. My doctor recommended Tysabri which was new at the time and it was recommended to be used onlyānot in combination with any other interferon or MS drug.Ā

Allergy meds
I am in the U.S. and need relief from seasonal allergies. I read an article by an allergist with the Cleveland Clinic. "Decongestants are not recommended for people with hypertension or heart problems. A better option would be a topical nasal steroid like FlonaseĀ® (fluticasone), RhinocortĀ® (budesonide

Sinus Surgery is it worth it?
I had Sinusitis end of August last year for the first time after a cold it made my asthma unbearable. The GP gave me the wrong antibiotic which didn't treat it and it became chronic. I know this as I went to see an ENT Consultant who gave me another antibiotic and I had a CT scan which showed pansinusitis

Starting Kesimpta
I was on
Avonex
for 18 years and went off a couple years ago , it just wasn't helping any longer. A year ago I tried Ocrevus but did not have a good experience with the infusion.

How can you tell the difference between asthma and a chest infection?
Following on from the posts about antibiotics. I have looked at the useful information re: asthma and chest infections on the site and am still not sure where I am with it. I had an asthma flare up last week following a good spell and a decrease of Seretide 250 dosage to 1 puff 2 x per day alongside
