I started Avonex 3 years ago and was on it for over a year. I then went on Betaseron. During the times I have been on these two meds I thought I was also going through the change because of hot flashes.
I would heat up like a match and think my head was going to burn off. Now that I am not on these two meds, went to Tysabri, I am not having hot flashes!!!
My gyn was going to put me on estrogen to help get me through it all. Now I just wonder if I was having an allergic reaction to the DMD's. Possibly the preservitives.
Tysabri did not cause any reaction for me but I have only had my first round.
