rebif rebismart

I was just wondering what devices other people use to inject their DMD. I'm on rebif and I use the RebiSmart injector. That's what they sent me and no one asked me what I wanted, but I'm glad because it's very easy to inject with.

Most of the information is only available with some code provided to individuals who have a Rebismart, but I did gather that the medicine cartridge must be changed weekly, while the needle (hidden in a seperate unit??) must be changed daily. There are special care and maintenance steps which don't occur with the present Rebiject. And obviously, as the Rebismart is electronic, it will use up batteries or a/c power from a charging base of some sort.

I just saw the video that came with the RebiSmart and the case it's in is a lot bigger than I expected. Where do you all store it? Obviously it has to go in the fridge, but we have a small-ish fridge and a family of 5 so on grocery day I'm lucky to find room to fit all the fruit and veg! I thought I only had to store the cartridges but apparently I also have to store the entire RebiSmart unit (with the current cartridge in it) in the fridge as well.

I've been using a Rebismart unit to inject Rebif for over 2 years now. I get a months supply at a time, which comes in a small box containing 4 multidose vials, each vial has 3 - 44mcg doses, (one weeks worth). Last month my druggist aked me if I'd be willing to take a months supply of pre filled syringes. They had ordered them by mistake for another client who used to use syringes, but now uses a Rebismart injecter, and refused the syringes.

While talking to my rebif rep about the possibility of having both the Rebismart injector and some pre-filled syringes on hand, (ty Shell for the suggestion), he told me there is a new device available called the Rebislide. Well...first he laughed nervously and said he's never heard of someone wanting to us syringes instead of the Rebismart. He said it was crazy that I was using syringes without having had the training. I got a real kick that he was so surprised with my request.

m using the Rebismart injector, and I have the injection speed set on slow. The Rebif is at room temperature. I am cleaning with alcohal swabs, and I wait 20 to 30 seconds before I inject. - I am still getting flue like symptoms, headaches, fever, etc., but they are less and less severe. Any tips? Comments? Suggestions?

Hi. I've just finished the titration stage and am now on 44 dose of Rebif using the rebismart. As the dose increased I've had really bad stinging like a bee sting when the drug starts going in. I'm starting to dread the injections already. I would be very grateful for any tips to reduce the sting as I'm a newbie to this. Many thanks, Sue.

Finally! After much delay and anticipation, my high-tech, fancy-shmancy "RebiSmart" auto-injector has arrived along with all the essentials. Has anyone else here used it? Alas, the accompanying journal and information package is entirely in French. I know Canada is a bilingual country, but I must admit, I haven't taken a French class since the 6th grade. No harm done, though... I mentioned it when I called "Multiple Support" (get it?

Hello, I have to try Rebif before my insurance will consider me for an oral DMD (since I've already been on Copaxone). I don't know too much about Rebif. I do know that it's an interferon and can cause flu like symptoms and I think it's intramuscular injections. Do the injections hurt? Do you do the injections or does a nurse come out and give the injections? Are the injections in your legs? How often do you have to get the injections?

Hi Donna I use Rebif and I inject with the 'Rebismart injector'. It's an electronic device that holds 3 shots (one weeks worth) in a cartidge. I know it's available here in Canada, and in the UK, but I'm not sure if it's approved in Australia yet, so I won't elaborate on it, I'll just say it makes injecting a little easier for me. Good luck with your decision.

I have MS and have been taking Rebif foe 7 years. It has worked very well. I just learned that my current drug insurance plan from Humana will not cover Rebif in 2015. What plans cover at least some of the Rebif cost? My copay with Humana was about $300 per month. Would like not to exceed this amount.

Yes, I am on rebif for 11 months and must take advil liquid gels To stave off headache fever that wakes me up!

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.

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.

I have been on Rebif for four months now, and I am not going to do another shot, I can't handle the side effects. I've tried premedicating and nothing seems to work. How many of you are in the same situation? and what did you do?

I took my first shot of Rebif today. I gave myself the shot and i thought this is great no stinging, no redness, no lump like i had with Copaxone. Then WHAM!!!! I had abdominal pain about an hour after the shot it lasted for about 6hrs The only thing i could compare it to was a 6hr nonstop labor pain. We will see what happens Monday when i take the next shot. Does anyone else get this abdominal pain on Rebif.
