405614 tn?1329144114 Hello, everyone. This was my home through the whole process of getting diagnosed with MS, which was in 2009. I have drifted away from home, but isn't home the place that, when you have to go there, they have to take you in? Just kidding. It's good to be here. I've been doing really well, lost 70+ pounds & kept it off, have had a love affair with Zumba and am probably the most fit I've ever been. My MS is very stable, and I'm happy with my Avonex treatments.
Avatar n tn I have been on Avonex since the fall of 2009 to treat my MS. My symptom of fatigue is troubling and my heart vs my head attributes this to my medication more than the illness. Is this correct? Will the fatigue subsist with time?
439601 tn?1357860886 Just ran across your post. I'm sitting in hospital as we speak with my husband who was admitted 12 days ago with Severe Acute Pancreatitis. They can not find a reason for this attack (he does not drink alcohol heavily & they cannot find gallstones). He was diagnosed in May of 2009 with MS & started taking Avonex that following June. I would hate for him to resume his Avonex, once he's out of this place, only to get it again.

Avatar f tn The pharmacy where your Avonex comes from should be able to bill your insurance even if you don’t have a physical card. Perhaps you call the insurance company and get the information the pharmacy will need. I would encourage you to call the Avonex hotline at 800-456-2255. They might be able to ship you some Avonex so you can get started again, or they might give you tips about dealing with life in the interim.
446474 tn?1446347682 In January 2009, Vertex completed enrollment in the global 2-arm ILLUMINATE trial that will include evaluation of 24-week and 48-week telaprevir-based regimens in genotype 1 treatment-naïve HCV patients. The ILLUMINATE trial enrolled approximately 500 patients.
Avatar f tn In 2009 the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives promoted Voth to lead Phoenix Group VII, one of seven new ATF groups along the Southwest border tasked with stopping guns from being trafficked into Mexico's vicious drug war. Some call it the "parade of ants"; others the "river of iron." The Mexican government has estimated that 2,000 weapons are smuggled daily from the U.S. into Mexico. The ATF is hobbled in its effort to stop this flow.
422172 tn?1215990852 efficacy of combining Avonex and Copaxone; and a natural history study, as an adjunct to the Avonex/Copaxone study. I declined all of them as I live about 450 kms from the research facility and being in a study involves monthly follow ups. Winter was around the corner, I was overwhelmed by my dx, and did not want to make a commitment to be doing all that travel. In hindsight I wish now that I had opted to do the Avonex/Copaxone study.
Avatar f tn Just wondering how many Avonex users stuggle with depression. I usually get emotional a week before my period...but this time around it is going into 2 weeks. I don't want to start an antidepressant if its not necessary but I have been emotional, feel blah, and very tired. Maybe its just coming to terms with the diagnosis...Im not sure. I have been taking avonex for 9 weeks. If you are on an antidepressant what made you decide it was time to start it?
1746440 tn?1311509508 Hi and welcome to our little corner of the web. If you haven't done so already, I highly recommend you have a read of our health pages, you'll find them at the top right of your screen, the yellow icon. They cover a wide range of MS information and well worth the time they take to read.
97654 tn?1214348650 Hi, I was recently diagnosed with MS and had my first Avonex injection Friday. Friday night was tough (fever, chills, pain and eventually heavy sweating) but I felt pretty good by Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon I started feeling kind of down and by Sunday morning I feel even more so. I can't decide if this is a result of the drug or just the situation as a whole.
Avatar f tn Sigh, I have a question from a friend. She would like to know if avonex causes calcium deficiency? She is diagnosed with ms. Not like me.
400099 tn?1282954864 Is anyone on avonex? My dr. wants to switch me to avonex, but with having lupus, I really don't want to go on an interferon. I'm on copaxone, now but because I have large welts on my arms he wants to switch me. I don't want to switch. Do I have the right to deny a new medication I feel would be detrimental to me?
Avatar f tn Flu-like symptoms are a fairly common side effect during the initial weeks of Avonex treatment. It is recommended that you take your Avonex injection before bedtime. Immediately before your injection, and for the 24 hours that follow the injection, patients have found that use of over the counter pain and fever reducing medications can help with this common side effect." You could also get on the Avonex website for further info. good luck. hope that you feel better soon.
1125401 tn?1262898927 I have been on copaxone for little over a year its not working for me so my neuro has asked me to try avonex. My avonex nurse is coming this evening but I am wondering how long you actually gave it to get the symptoms of the shot to calm down. I am crossing everything to hope I dont get the flu symptoms so bad but we will see. I have a husband that works away and 3 small kids to care for, I dont want to be in bed all weekend when its the only time we get to spend as a family.
1168718 tn?1464983535 Hi guys, has anyone not heard from the AVONEX people once they were put on it.??? I have heard from heath nurses, and today, got my WELCOME package, but still no product. I don't know what is going on, and of course the lady or the rep from Avonex is away on holidays till the 2nd. of Dec..... so, I guess we will do it next week ... Just to let you guys know, they stopped my antiobiotic IV today, and said that it was an MS attack. Wherever there are nerves, MS can strike.
1168718 tn?1464983535 Hi Candy, When I was on the Avonex I had terrible itchy skin. I would start scratching and I would well up from the scratching. I also found that it dried out my skin as well. I use pure coconut oil right out of the shower then gold bond lotion right over the top of the oil. It seems to be helping tremendously. The oil soaks in quickly and the lotions seems to seal in the moisture. I hope this helps. Sorry you have this to deal with on top of everything else.
