rebif rebiject

t have any complaints with the current Rebiject II, which I use routinely. Although the Rebiject sometimes gives problems firing the needle, if it gets to be too routine I can easily contact the company for a replacement. I did once have to administer an injection without it, and bruised fiercely afterward, but then again I had no formal training on the techniques of injecting without the autoinjector. I looked at the Rebismart.com website, and honestly it seems to be more of a pain.

Gollie, you are correct, the Rebiject is for Rebif. I do ensure that I pull the cap off straight, so as not to bend the needle. I use the highest setting; at least I think it's the highest. The one that goes the deepest into the skin. On Rebiject the settings are 1 - 3. I use 3. As far as how it's working for me, it's too early to say. This is my fifth week. I inject 3x per week, M, W, F.

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.

No welting and itching w/rebif my friend. You will experience some silver dollar sized red and sometimes hot spots, but let us know if that nurse is coming out? I don't use the rebiject, I do manual, but there are others here who do.

Last night I proceeded to do my 4th Rebif injection and wasted an entire syringe because I stupidly forgot to remove the cap. By the time I realized what I was doing it was too late; I pulled the end off of the autoinjector and the medicine came shooting out. Aargh! This happened with my first shot when the nurse was instructing me. She also forgot to tell me to pull off the cap remover so the very first syringe was ruined.

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!

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.

Well in a few hours I will be injecting myself with Rebif. I'm a like more prepared than last week. I was a bawl of tears. I hope this med works for me. Since it seems the medicine is the only option. Forget it I'm getting upset again.

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.

Is there anyone using Rebif for MS? if so how are you getting on with this treament?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.
