Advice & Tips
You don't kmow how muh the medacation is working untill they just pull it away from you real fast. Now that I am not on it I noticed I am real tired but can't sleep that is no fun to live with, my mood is not good I want to cry or treat people nasty for no reason,and I never had a hard time taking the medication if you set reminder's and you do it at night do you don't notice the flu feeling.

Advice & Tips
I do my shots Sun, Tues, Thurs. After the first 6 months or so I had no more reactions at all. I can do the shot and then do whatever I had planned. I find that doing the shot freehand is much easier after the initial shock of actually sticking the needle in goes by. Now it is just something I do.

Advice & Tips
If you have used the auto injector and found it painful, don't give up on the drug. I just give myself the injection with the prefilled syringe and do it VERY Slowly!! It won't burn or leave the bruises as it might with the Rebiject. Also, the cost is expensive, as it is for all of the injections. But the MSLieflines can help with the cost. I had a co-pay of $805.00 but now only pay $50.00 since I qualified for assistance thru the MSLifelines program.
Cost
$50-99 monthly
