Avatar f tn So the ins company wont pay for Copaxone or Gilynia until my daughter first tries Rebif (i guess because its cheaper for them.) I have a concern with her being on an interferon due to the possible mental health side effects. She is already on Lexapro for anxiety and mild depression. I dont want anything adding to the issue. We have dr app tomorrow to discuss Rebif but I dont want her on it. Anyone have bad side effects with Rebif??? Any advise for me?? Thank you.
Avatar f tn What is usually the cost of these meds? ( I am considering trying Rebif or Avonex) I have heard they run about $1500/month. I have to meet a $3000 deductible which means I may have to pay for my first dose. I don't have an extra $1500 floating around. I am really starting to freak out! But then again part of me figures I have probably had MS for 15-20 years an I am fine so far. I guess waiting another 1-2 months to start taking DMDs can't hurt. Can it?
11924850 tn?1601364171 Hello. Does anyone take Rebif for MS? Is it helping? How long before any improvement? Does anyone think that it's just a false hope with nasty side effects? Thanks.
1713150 tn?1314467342 Hello all! I started the Rebif about 4 or 5 months ago. I had medicaid which was the only reason I was able to get the Rebif. Medicaid just droppped me. They said the 250.00 a month in child support we recieve is too much money to qualify for medicaid. I have 2 kids and they say if a 3 people family recieves more than 188.00 a month than I won't qualify. I don't work right now, I live with my parents and kids.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if there are any statistics showing the effectiveness of Rebif if used only twice a week versus three times a week? My husband will be losing his job come the end of August, and along with that, our benefits. I figure if I start now going to only 2 times a week, between now and the end of August I can make my Rebif last for at least another month. I know this is not the best thing to do, but it appears to possibly be the only solution.
398059 tn?1447945633 Anyone here one with a diagnosis of MS and is having trouble getting disease modifying drugs, such as Copaxone or Rebif, due to lack of insurance, insurance company unwilling to pay or trouble with pharmaceutical company please tell your story as to why.
198419 tn?1360242356 As some may have seen, Abagio the 2nd oral is now approved. Important to note (my opinion) - When compared to Rebif. Don't mean to be skeptical my friends, I'm just the type of person who wants some comparisons to existing meds with track records.
Avatar f tn Is anyone currently taking Rebif? And does anyone know anything about it? I was just (finally) diagnosed with MS, though my Neuro wouln't say which kind it was... and is planning on putting me on Rebif. It's been 2 years since my symptoms started, and haven't had any kind of relapse or relief in any symptoms, they just keep coming.
771085 tn?1268010265 Is anyone else on Rebif? Any pointers or tips or suggestions from people who have been on Rebif (or Betaseron or Copaxone or Avonex)? I'm a little scared to start therapy, but also excited. I'm trying to be very positive about this. Thanks!
198419 tn?1360242356 m asking is because my allergist has been doing some digging in order to develop a type of protocol to perform the challenge on me. She has not received any guidance from the company. She has asked me if I could get the 44 mgs and they would inject it under the skin, but they would also use some other solution I think, but am not sure exactly how they are going to do it and don't know enough about this type of testing and false positive results, etc.
1489159 tn?1288657429 The company that makes REBIF has a number that you can call to speak to a nurse anytime you have questions re Rebif. I called a few times in the beginning and found them to be very helpful. Hot weather and I don't mix these days. AND I can't stand to be in the sun. Your body will let you know if it doesn't like the heat. It can make your symptoms of MS more pronounced. Good luck to you!
Avatar f tn Does anyone have experience with it? Per my insurance, I would have to try Rebif for at least a month before they'd allow me to try an oral DMD. So frustrating. Thanks!
1936411 tn?1333831849 Hi there, I am currently on Rebif (9 months into it) but would love to try Tecfidera. My annual neuro exam is in a month and I think I will be making the switch at that time. A little concerned about the gastro issues that some experience because I do have GERD but if my health insurance will let me switch then I will hopefully start Tec in June.
516780 tn?1296516575 I have TRICARE and so far no issues with my MEDs. I get my meds (rebif) from the local Walgreens instead of the base pharmacy. I only pay 9.00 per month for the Rebif. The only issue that I can see with TRICARE is the referrals to my Neuro. I have to remeber to call my Primary Care doctor every 6 months to renew my referral.
1140169 tn?1370185076 It would surprize me if Canada is the only country allowing the use of the RebiSmart injector, however I believe Rebif is made by a Canadian company (i think) so maybe that would make a difference.
1896537 tn?1381900009 I've got the nurse coming out tomorrow to take me through my first Rebif injection but this morning I've woken up with cold sores covering almost my entire lower lip....is it still ok to go ahead with starting rebif or should I put it off til I'm less run down? sorry if this is a silly question but I want to get off to a good start being as I have waited so long to start a dmd!
