Common Questions and Answers about Rebif rash

rebif

Avatar f tn He basicly told me that I should just see my neuro again and that the rebif was probably causing all of my new symptoms! I have been on rebif for 7 months! Why would it suddenly cause malar rash, joint pain and swelling, extreme hair loss, anemia and chronic diarrhea, just to name a few. Has anyone heard of rebif causing lupus symptoms? I am still waiting for blood results from that appt. They took 8 large tubes of blood, so hopefully I will get those results soon.
198419 tn?1360242356 ve probably told you this, but my sister had what her neuro said was an allergic reaction to her Rebif. She developed an all-over itchy skin rash that hurt like the dickens. Her doctor pulled her off Rebif because of this reaction and aggressive disease course and started her on Tysabri. Just after starting Tysabri, her rash that she had for a couple of months, disappeared.
198419 tn?1360242356 The MS lifelines nurse was fantastic, and very accessible. I wish you all the best w/the Rebif. And, thanks for your advice, when I read your rash thread, it was totally the same. . KITT-KATT - See you next week, we'll catch up soon, I'm hoping this is just some sort of a itch - glitch in my system and it's overreacting. .
Avatar f tn As you may know, I was diagnosed with MS in April and have been on Rebif. I have had 2 relapses while on it. The first one was just a week of muscle spasms. I am currently in the 2nd one now and it has been active since 8/11/10. I have 3 days of I.V Solumedrol the 1st of sept and have felt no relief. With this one I have been having some new things going on that do not seem to fit with MS, at least not anything I can find. So this is what I'm hoping you can help me with.
1710955 tn?1309446473 So yesterday was suppose to be the start of my 3rd week on copaxone...suppose to be. Mid afternoon I noticed a horrible rash on my right arm after I went to scratch it. It's the same kind of rash that I have on my right shin that I got not even a week after I started the copaxone. Coincidence Idk. I called shared solutions and talked to a nurse. He advised not taking another shot until I talked to my neuro.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Yes, I am on rebif for 11 months and must take advil liquid gels To stave off headache fever that wakes me up!
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.
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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Is there anyone using Rebif for MS? if so how are you getting on with this treament?
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.
Avatar f tn When I went to get my rebif refilled last week was tokd they were out and its on border and they don't kniw when it will come in and could be a couple months. I called every pharmacy in town and got.same.story. Then called rebif and they know.if.no shortage. Is anyone else.having this problem? In meantime I am out so no shots.
280482 tn?1262960714 Call MS Lifelines (the Rebif nurses) now. I think Rebif is contraindicated in pregnancy. If you don't have their number handy, find it on their website. Congratulations!! First baby?
1369165 tn?1282173954 I have a choice between copaxone or rebif injection. I read copaxone has more external side effects and rebif has more internal side effects. I would like to have feedback on this. Good and bad information would be great. Think I'm going with copaxone, but kind on fence a little.
1816210 tn?1327354884 I will start Avonex, as soon as I can get an appt with an injection nurse. I had an allergic reaction to Rebif, but my neuro feels that it was likely a reaction to something specific to Rebif- not interferon. I am also now taking Baclofen. It is helping. I still feel the "hug", and spasms in other places- but it doesn't seem to get quite as severe. I would like to still take my zanaflex, but don't think he refilled it. I think the baclofen is replacing zanaflex.
Avatar n tn I've been on Rebif for about 13 years. My insurance recently stopped covering it, but offered Aubagio as an alternative--sounded good to me! I'll be switching, but I'm worried about just stopping Rebif cold turkey (which my neurologist suggests). Has anyone had any experiences with stopping Rebif?
Avatar f tn They were high, so at that point my neuro instructed me to go off all meds and supplements, and no alcohol, stayed on Rebif and they remained high when test was repeated. Went off Rebif, stayed off other meds and alcohol, they returned to normal, and remained so after I started other meds again and consumed alcohol again. This is how we could be certain it was Rebif causing the prolem.
