No UTI... Spasticity/Spasms on Betaseron

So the doc tells me I don't have a UTI.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that I'm still experiencing muscle spasms and spasticity on Betaseron.  I thought this would go away when the fever resolved, but it hasn't.

Who else on here is taking Betaseron (or some sort of interferon?)  And if so, did you have problems with muscle stiffness, and did it resolve?

I was having a bit of stiffness before - it's why I was taking Baclofen...  but this calf muscle thing has me beat!  It keeps wanting to spasm.

I've been on Avonex for well over two years and have had no muscle stiffness.

Hi jen
I am on REBIF and have problems with muscle stiffness, but I had it before I started on the REBIF.  I feel best when I exercise - walk,run,light weights, stretching, balance exercises.  When I can -
Take care, Carol
