multiple sclerosis
"I am sorry to hear of those of you for whom Avonex hasn't worked.  Either I am in a minority or just lucky with how it has helped me,  I have been on Avonex for almost nine years and he first month was a challenge....shivers and aches shortly after my injections.  Ever since, however, it has only been a minor inconvenience.  I take two Advil an hour before my shot and only experience what I call a bit of a "funk" 24 hours later, other than that, it is a breeze, thank goodness!

My biggest challenge was the 1-1/ 4 inch needles so I changed to 1 inch.  Much less daunting!

I have never missed a shot in almost nine years and don't plan to miss one going forward.

Best to all of us MSer's!"
