Rebib-Fevers?

[yorkieville]

Is anyone else on Rebif, experiencing fevers?

I wake so hot, after just a few hours sleep, that I have to get up.

Therefore, I am so tired during the day. So, I take a nap, and again, wake because I am too hot.

Hi, Corrie.

I've been on Rebif, since 11/2012. I only use 22 mcg. (I couldn't tolerate the full dose-I am extremely underweight)

Even in the winter, when my bedroom was cold, and even though we keep the A/C cold at night, I wake up so hot.

I took a nap this afternoon, woke up so hot.

I can't take anything because I have Lynphocytic Colitis.

I'm also hypothyroid, requested an order to re-check my levels.

Are you using the new Rebidose injector? I like it so much better than the pen.

I hope you won't experience the heat.

I have taken my temp. and it has only been 97.8.

Hi Sheila, I am on Rebif but only a little over 3 weeks so I only start my full dosing this Friday.

Of course the weather has been horribly hot and humid so I haven't been sleeping.  :-)

Do you take acetaminophen before and/or after your injections? That may help lower the fever.

Good luck and keep me posted, please. If I notice a fever on my end I will let you know.
