Hi Katmol, welcome to the forum. Are you taking your injection in the evening?
I also just started Rebif and am going tjtru thr body aches. (I seem to keep eating Advil due toa frozen shoulder) so adding this now my stomach is often upset. I hope once my body adjust the achey feeling goes away. I am usually pretty active.
Hey Jess,
Like Mike, are you titrating?....it's such a small amount I'm surprised to hear of such strong side affects. This very well could be a cold or something.
Ibuprofen is my friend too due to neck issues (and early on rebif). I take either 600 mgs of it, or 500 mgs of naproxen. As always ask your doctor what doses would be best for you.
Hope this is just a virus and passes :(
If ends up being symptoms of Rebif, there will be a adjustment period and it does get better.
(((hugs)))

Hmmmmm. Seems like a long time for flu like sx from the DMD, mine only lasted a day or so even when I first started on Rebif.
What dose did you start with? I'm assuming you a titrating and didn't shoot up a 44mcg.
I take 2 Tylenol extra strength 1/2 hr before I inject, (bedtime), and if I awake during the night feeling achy or feverish I pop another couple Tylenol.
I'm not sure if I hope this is just a side effect or is the flu....either way doesn't sound good.
Hopefuly others on here will have some other ideas.
Mike
