Do you see the possibilities around "YOU"?
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.

WBC keeps getting lower, anyone else on Avonex have this happen?
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?

Just the facts, nothing but the facts
Silly but is a coping mechanism Just like DMT (Disease Modifying Therapy) or ABC’s (
Avonex
Betaseron\Betaferon. Copaxone) or Tec (Tecfidra) is. Make things smaller easier to handle and come to terms with. I do not start at 150 kilogram (300 pounds) weight at the gym.

effect of nasal steroids on asthma
hello all, DS has allergic rhinitis and asthma and we have recently started a new steroid nasal spray (dymista), and have also tried Nasonex. it seems that these are making his asthma symptoms worse. His asthma used to be well controlled with low dose clenil modulate, but since on the spray he has started

Still taking Avonex and what helps
I’m still taking the
Avonex
since 2010. just went to the doc and had an mri it did not show any progression the last two I just turned 50 and my doc for the first time talked about stopping at some point. I changed from the manual injection to the pen and it is much easier and so fast!

Has anyone with Secondary Progressive MS been prescribed Ocrevus or is on it?
I was diagnosed with RRMS in 1996 and about seven years ago my doctor took me off
Avonex
and I went on Gilenya. That didn’t work for me at all, I quickly worsened and now I have SPMS. My doctor doesn’t want me back on
Avonex
instead wants me on Ocrevus.

7 weeks on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Other interactions include alcohol, narcotic medications (Ultram, Morphine, Percocet, Tramadol, Duragesic Patch or Codeine), steroids, and interferon (Beta Seron,
Avonex
or Rebif). “LDN should probably not be taken during pregnancy.

5 month Cough
Hey guys, I've had this terrible cough for about five months now. It doesn't happen when Im sleeping but during the day I'll often cough up phlegm or dry heave from the cough. I went and saw my GP and they sent me for breathing tests and a chest X-Ray. Nothing showed up and my breathing was normal. I

Hello, I am activist.
I have been on
Avonex
for most of the time. I tried Plegrity but my body did not like it. Even though I have had breast cancer twice, I have MS and I have a brain tumor I feel as if I am the healthiest person I know because I never get sick...no colds, no flu, no allergies.

Has anyone changed from Seretide 250 to Fostair 100/6?
I have just had my medication for my asthma changed from Seretide to Fostair as the nurse was concerned that long term use of Seretide at a high dose could lead to side effects in the future like diabetes. I’ve only been on Fostair for a couple of days but so far have experienced headaches, stomach ache

Back to whining
But today my muscles feel like I had
Avonex
. I feel sore as if I had worked out (I didn’t). My head hurts and I hurt ALL OVER. If I take more muscle relaxers then I will be DEEPLY DEPRESSED tomorrow and I am very sad already. I am so tired of being in pain. . .

Bisoprolol and Nasonex (corticosteroid)
I have been on 2.5 mg of bisoprolol for 14 years following a heart attack. I had a stent and was also prescibed 40mg simvastatin, 5mg lisinopril and low dose aspirin. About 10 years ago I dropped the lisinopril as my blood pressure was never really very high and I was developing sinus issues (drip) which

Aubagio usage
I have been taking
Avonex
but it isn't doing the job. I am thinking about switching to Aubagio. Just wondering what others on it think of it. Thank you for any help.

Nasonex
Hi. Anyone had experience of this nasal spray? I'm finding it hard to breath through my nose when I use it. Anyone had a similar experience. Can anyone recommend another nose spray?

Headaches vs. migraines?
I’m waiting to get my Aubagio started and have been off of
Avonex
for a few months now in the interim. I’m open to any tricks or suggestions that others wouldn’t mind sharing.

Poor medication choice!
Avonex
didn't work for me. I had multiple relapses of optic neuritis on it and feared losing my sight permanently. I would NOT recommend it and choose another medication, such as tecfidera, immediately.

Dry, itchy skin
Avonex
has been so hard on my skin. Regular body lotion does nothing to relieve the dryness. How are those of you with dry, itchy skin handling it? I'd love some product recommendations!
