Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have recently struggled with a rebif switch recently....from the Avonex injections. The struggles that I have endured has led me back to Avonex. My recent appointment with a neurologist wasn't too encouraging when he described the two drugs as the same since they are both interferons. The main question to be asked is how far you have progressed because Rebif is a pretty high dose(44 mcg) given in three weekly shots. I joined the MS Cured site because I don't think the drug approach is always the way to go exclusively...diet is very important as well. Avonex shots (30 mcg) are intramuscular and are rather painful but the Rebif shot are subcutaneous and much easier to give in various locations. Each person's case is unique, be sure to remember that. It is always important to get as many opinions as you possibly can when making a decision. Good luck with your situation and God Bless! Serenity God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The interferons have their own side affects - I felt aweful on Rebif, and Beta seron... I don't take THOSE anymore! Still figureing out natural Tx, but my G-ma recovered that way before drugs were even an option. > > > > Any advice on the > > subject?
