It’s almost 3am and I can’t sleep…again. I was woken from a sound sleep with muscle and joint pain. Last night was an injection night. As I wait for the pain to subside, i am wondering…are my meds worth it?
I take rebif three times a week. I have low energy levels, brain fog, and confusion. I think it’s due to lack of sleep. Would my body be healthier if I went off Rebif? It would certainly rest when it’s suppose to. I wonder, am I doing more harm right now?
I am still working on my diet. It’s so hard. I must cut out everything I love. I believe it’s working though. The last few days have been good days…I’ve almost felt…do I say it? Normal!
What are your thoughts when it comes to the therapies you’re on? Let me know.

I am not currently taking anything for my MS but rebif was my first choice. Thanks for sharing your experience. I will come back to read more of you.

Did you decide to stop the rebif? I am currently taking rebif (have been for over a year) and considering stopping. i do not have problems sleeping but frequently have headaches and body aches that keep me from doing things I enjoy. I also have brain fog. I wonder too if it the meds are really worth it.
Hi there!
I had a really bad experience with Rebif. I felt sick all the time. The side effects of Rebif were worse than MS. I went off Rebif but started relapsing. I am now in the process of starting Beta Seron…we’ll see. I think that treating the symptoms of MS is a lot of trial and error! You’ve got to find what works well for you. I haven’t found my magic bullet yet! Best of luck to you and your treatment.
