Wow - sorry to hear of your troubles. I haven't experienced or known anyone to create events and believe them to be factual. Sounds like a mystery to me....
Hi, I'm just curious about this and was hoping someone could shed some light on this. I am trying very hard to avoid wheat because I understand that if you have even the smallest of allergies to it,...
Gosh - I'm sorry she is having that side effect. I've been on Avonex since November of '05. My hair has thinned out but there have not been any major bald spots or clumps that came out. It's just...
Nick - I'm so sorry for your loss - there aren't enough words to express the deep sympathy that I have for you and your children. Though she is now wrapped securely in the arms of angels who have...
Hi - I actually wanted to go on Rebif because they offerred an auto injector but my neuro said that he thought Avonex was the way to go for me. I didn't know then that they didn't have an auto...
Ugh - I feel for you! The first time I experienced that feeling was about 6 months ago and I was actually pretty scared. I'd never heard of the "MS hug" before so thought that I was having some sort...
Hi Nichole. The theory is that I had my first episode when I was 16. I had shooting kind of like electrical shocks through my arms whenever I would bend my head touching my chin to my chest. My...
Hey Life - I haven't ever had to deal with optical problems related to MS. I'm sure that is frustrating for you! I'll keep hoping for you that the cymbalta kicks in and lifts you back up a little....
LOL my5cats! I guess I needed to hear that!...
Thanks Uppity and Life. Life, I feel like I can relate to what you said. There are some stressors going on for me but normally I am the kind of person that just takes stuff in stride and really I...
Tiphanie - you've truly brought perspective to my life tonight. My minor "woes" certainly seem of much less magnitude to me now. You've made me remember why I chose "counting my blessings" as my sign...
I am so bummed out lately - does anyone else have depression since being on interferons? Wow, this really kicked me in the bum! I really have always had a very positive outlook on life in general....
I think we truly do all mean well here. I understand both sides of the issue. I am not a "lyme fanatic" nor would I ever discourage a person from ruling out a different diagnosis. Let's be honest...
Oh, that stinks for ya!! I'll be thinking of you. The sensitivity to touch does seem a little odd to me but that is only because I haven't experienced that with MS yet. I too have some weird stuff...
I am so frustrated!!! I just need to vent. I was diagnosed with MS in 1997/1998 at the Mayo clinic. I've had symptoms that just don't relate so much to MS but seem to fit in with Lyme Disease...
Hi missing, know that you aren't alone and can always come here to get support. I am gone for a month and then get back to feeling normal and everyone is still here for me - what a great group! As...
Hi Michelle - so sorry that it is all bringing you down. I, as many others, can relate to the Avonex side effects. I've been on it now since November of 2005 and for first couple of months were...
Gosh Uppity - I'm so sorry that you feel crummy!! I only started Avonex in November of last year and occassionally still have side effects but after 12 years that must have really blind sided you!!...
