Cir's Experience

Unfortunately, Cir is one of those people. We're not sure why, but none of the interferons worked – Avonex, Betaseron, or Rebif. The side effects never went away. And in some cases they became more severe.

His nurse did call and ask him why he had stopped. She wanted to know why he hadn't called her. Her job is to keep patients on therapy and in her eyes she had failed. Cir on the other hand, knew from experience, that the situation would not get any better for him.

Now we have to admit, the nurse was one of the nicest people we have ever met. She did her job very well. In addition to teaching Cir, she also taught me and our youngest daughter how to give the injections. (Not in Cir thank goodness, but in an orange....; I'm sure he was glad of that).

Now you may very well be able to take Rebif. If you are, that's great. According to the makers, it helps;

So talk to your doctor and between the two of you, decide what the right therapy is for you. Ultimately, that is the goal. Find something that works well for you.
