Hey Violia!

I Hate shots!  I wish I could blame rebif for my weight gain but I think its cause I got too sedimentary this year...  I don't switch my Rebif around though... tummy hurts so much less so I just do it there.  I asked the Doc about it and well he is a doctor and so he says Oh you have to move the injection site.... I asked the Rebif ppl and they say Oh No You Have to move the Injection Site!...  I had spots on my arms that wouldn't go away... well I had em on my  belly too... and lumps...   but a year straight just shots in the belly.

Lumps and red spots that dont go away.  but no weight gain.

Legs hurt too lumps stayed once on my thigh 6 months looked like I had a bleeech thigh thing

Butt doesn't hurts too much  but hard to do it yourself

Hi Violia!

I actually lost weight while on Rebif, but not really sure if it was the Rebif.

Does your stomach hurt? Since you haven't actually gained weight, sounds like maybe you are bloated or something.  Does it come and go, or always there.  

My belly is larger than the rest of me anyway probably from having kids, so it's the 1st place I gain weight.  How was it previously?

Welcome - please feel free to share more if you feel comfortable doing so.

Hope to see you around,
Shelly
