betaseron bayer

I have been off of Betaseron for about 2 weeks now and my eyes are back to being very uncomfortable. Before I started Avonex eye pressure and pain was a huge problem. Now it is is starting again.

m not on betaseron, but am glad to hear you are making a change to see if you can find a combination to slow your MS. Getting the new MRI done on the stronger machine is so important for your baseline... it will give your new neuro a good view as to where you are coming from. And you're right, it might show where you have new damage that is causing your changes.

I would like to hear from MS patients regarding their experiences in dealing with the various manufacturing company call centers - Betaplus (Betaseron), Shared Solutions (Copaxone), Patient Services (Avonex & Tysabri), Others?. What do you like and don't like? What services are important to you vs. which are not? What are your pet peeves and how do you suggest we fix them? Thank you all!

I would definitely try Benadryl and stop taking Bayer. Most Bayer that I am aware of has aspirin in it and they may be experiencing either an allergic reaction or sensitivity to it. I would opt to take Tylenol or Acetemetophin for the headaches if they are trying to quit smoking and are getting headaches from it. If they are having any severe reaction like throat swelling or trouble breathing call emergency services immediately.

The findings indicate that the currently approved dose of 250 mcg of Betaseron is the optimal dose. (Abstract #LBS.

I've been on Betaseron since a year after I was diagnosed in 2000. On August 20th, I quit taking Betaseron cold turkey when I finally received my new oral medication Tecfidera. For the last few days I have been dealing with horrible body aches, diarrhea, cold sweats & the inability to eat (not feeling sick, just not being hungry or interested in eating). I do not have a fever, a cough, allergies or anything else I can conclude to be at fault for these annoying symptoms.

My Neuro wants me to switch from Rebif to Betaseron. I have been taking Rebif since March 09 and have had to do one round of Solu Medrol in May and will find out tomorrow if I have to do another. I also have pretty bad injection site reactions which is why the Neuro wants the switch. I guess Rebif has acid in the injection and it makes the site reactions worse? My question is, I am under the impression that Betaseron is not pre mixed and also that there is not an auto injector?

I noticed the Bayer Metrika A1cNOW met their stringent standards. For a list of labs and kits and what HbA they can test go here. On the left click on HbA1c Test Methods... http://www.ngsp.org/prog/index.html I found other meters with unknown reliability and quality at lower prices. But, I tend to shy away from health equipment that are not tested to see if they meet standards. Amazon has the Bayer A1cNOW http://tinyurl.com/a1ctester Also found at Wal-Mart and Walgreens.

I have been taking Betaseron for over 14 years, with no substantial side effects. I was told I would have to switch over to Extavia after the first of the year. ??????????? I have a couple problems with the Extavia, One being it looks to me that Extavia may be trying to save some money ,[[ At the patients expense ] one--a possible cheaper syringe???

The specialist at UCSF is switching me to Tysabri and has told me to go ahead and stop my Betaseron. It has now been 2 shots that I missed (well didn't take) and for the past 2 days I have been feeling like someone beat the crud outta me. My husband is insisting it is cuz I am not taking my shots. I don't see how that can be. We went to UCSF Monday night (4 hr drive), had my Dr appt Tues which took 4 hrs.

I have not drank alcohol or smoked cigarettes in over a year. I have been eating alot of beef and was taking Bayer aspirin in the morning and Advil at night to combat the fatigue I feel most of the time. I was taking the Bayer and Advil every day for over 3 months. Could the combination of the Bayer and Advil have caused the elevation in alpha feta protein? I noticed after I had done this that the internet states its not good to use this combination.

He did warn me about the miscarage risk. The last visit, he said to get off Betaseron 1 month before ttc. The BetaPlus nurse said give it two months. My husband and I discussed this. The current plan is to get off the Betaseron at the end of next week. That would be 2 wks in to the last pack of bc pills. We are planning to use alternate methods of bc for the next cycle. That would put me off of Betaseron 8 wks prior to the hoped for conception, and off the bc pills for 6 wks.

I saw on your other post the mention that they want you to take Rebif instead. Be sure that your neuro is fine with that - they are both interferons and work the same way.

Got home, took one, then realized it said Bayer. So I guess how much of a risk is there to baby, and has anyone used it while pregnant before?

Pretty much said I wouldnt be sitting there looking like this if I had been on meds (not sure that that is entirley true only a 30% chance in my opinion) She gave me the option of another med covered by my health insurance which is Betaseron. Gave me the CD to watch and sent RX to pharmacy. Of course I come home and read all teh possible side effects and its making me want to do nothing now. I am so med paranoid (and Im a Nurse for Pete's sake!

Hard to answer your question without more information. Why do you have only those four choices? Avonex (which I’ve used for 11 years) and others are notably absent from your list. Avonex, Rebif, and Betaseron have been around longest and have the strongest safety profiles. If your MS is more aggressive, then you may be more inclined to consider Gilenya, Tecfidera, Aubagio, or Tysabri. All of the DMDs are discussed from a neutral perspective at the link below: http://www.nationalmssociety.

I want to know exactly to eat for breakfast, luch and dinner. what. I play basketball about 1-2 hours weekdays. My A1C on bayer homekit showed 4.8. Idk if I did it right. Also, I like weight training ... is it good in such a situation. I used to take Myoplex EAS original 46 gms of protein supplement. Please let me know. Thanks much.

I have been on Betaseron since 1995. I have not had an attack since I started using the Betaseron. 3 1/2 year ago I slipped on the stairs and landed hard on my tailbone. A pain shot up through my back and gave me a terrible headache. Over the next few days, my leg started going numb. Went to the doctor and he sent me for x-rays and gave me muscle relaxants. Nothing on the x-ray. Sent me to my neurologist. He examined me and said it was MS and had me take three courses of solumedrol.

Thank you for the info

So the doc tells me I don't have a UTI. That's the good news. The bad news is that I'm still experiencing muscle spasms and spasticity on Betaseron. I thought this would go away when the fever resolved, but it hasn't. Who else on here is taking Betaseron (or some sort of interferon?) And if so, did you have problems with muscle stiffness, and did it resolve?
