Experiences with

Avonex

Avonex or other Biogen pills?

I meant avonex: sorry for the typo.

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.

I have been taking avonex for close to two months. I get sick for 3 days. I take tylenol the first day. Then I have feelings like hot flashes/menopause for two days. It is a very tiring and unpleasant. I am retired now. I couldn't take this while e woking. Does it get better. omg help!

I feel like part of the human race again bc : I had a phone conversation with my neurologist I am going on avonex, back to shooting myself again but only once a week-slightly better than copaxone for 20 years or so ( who is complaining? I am!

Might switched to avonex. 20 years on copaxe..needles again. who is complaning?

The older drugs, Avonex, Beta seron\feron rebid, tecfidera copaaxone have a longer history but are less effective in reducing relapses rate. So “YOU might want to look at the two newer ones I mentioned. “YOU” are taking responsibility for yourself, so do your research.

Hi all. I have been coughing for 3 months now. Every year i have the same case in winter. I went to a doctor last week for check up. I did skin test and the result was that i have allergy in olive trees and wall pellitory. She gave me medicines: Pariet 10mg (rabeprazole sodium), Singulair 10mg (montelukast

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

I was on Avonex for 12 years and never had any trouble.

Now I take Avonex and so far doing alot better.

Hi, I've been on Avonex for about 15 years. I retired this year at the age of 65 and through my insurance company got 3 months of Avonex. I am at the end of my last refill. My neurologist has me switching to every 2 weeks until it runs out. The problem is Medicare does not cover the drug.

Does anyone use Avonex? I’m just wondering because I started Ocrevus but lost a lot of hair. Was wondering if some of you still use Avonex?

My neurologist says no but does anyone know if you can go back to Avonex after the doctor put you on Ocrevus and you don’t feel comfortable with it???

For example, Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron don't prevent you from building immunity, and they don't make you more likely to become sick from any vaccines.

I have been told by a specialist that I have COPD and asthma. I was never an asthmatic during my youth or working life. Three bouts of chest infections, bronchitis? Flu? I never even went to the dr with it, this over a long life is not much. Then suddenly I started.I had lived with a heavy smoker for

Hi there, just been prescribed this for Hay fever. It's a nasal spray and I'm worried it might affect my T. GP says it won't. Just wondered if anyone has had any problems with this?

I’ve been on Avonex for 9 years now. The last two lab tests my WBC has been low and the last one was the lowest yet at 3.1. The low end of normal for this lab is 4.0. I also have scleroderma and Sjögrens. Has this happened to anyone else on Avonex and is your doctor not concerned?

The next year I believe Avonex then Copaxone came along. Rebif was next, it meant fewer needles so of course, I went for it as soon as it came on the market.

I have systemic scleroderma, Sjögrens and MS and I’ve been on Avonex for my MS for 9 years now. The last two lab tests my WBC has been low and the last one was the lowest yet at 3.1. The low end of normal for this lab is 4.0.
