Advice & Tips
I take the beta-seron just before going to bed at night. This helps me sleep through any symmptoms of aches. This doesn't really bother my daily life. I have become adjusted to just giving the injection every other day with the auto-injector.
Cost
$25-49 monthly

Advice & Tips
With time, the stress of giving injections to yourself will get easier. Thank goodness for the autoinjector! Be sure to take tylenol or Motrin if you have any flu-like symptoms.

Advice & Tips
It worked great the first 2 years, I was in a hot country so when I had 3 attacks during the 3rd year it was unclear and during year 4 it got so severe that everytime I took the shot I thought I was going to die and became so paranoid that I never left my house for over 10 days. I was very aggressive and very angry and felt like an alien creature had taken over my head.

Advice & Tips
I was having severe attacks that were back to back which lead to my diagnosis. The symptoms of the medication was intense at first. I would have different symptoms hit me every 4 days precisely, so one would finish and the other would start. After 2 years on the medication I find that I might have developed antibodies since I have had 3 attacks in the last year alone, I will be doing a blood test to check for it.

At the beginning it made me a little sick and I had some injection site reactions but nothing severe. It has helped to prevent new lessions from forming and I am sure it has helped to slow down the MS. I have a hard time remembering to take the shots.

Advice & Tips
Use of Bio oil on all injection sites marvelous tip from my MS Betaferon Nurse. Use it nightly on affected area injection sites makes it heal quicker. Affected areas to be left for a month before using again for injections-3 weeks wasn't long enough for me. In last 3 months I've had bad skin reaction but no need for antibiotic
