Advice & Tips
my bloods were abnormal-liver function and Thyroid Function and when I stopped Rebif, bloods returned to normal other than abnormal GTT since. When I was off treatment twitching of eye and upper lip returned but went again when I started new treatment of Betaferon 1b alt days. I thought the inj's weren't doing anything but it was in hindsight.
