I was diagnosed RRMS March 2015 and began Rebif Rebidose as recommended by my neurologist in April. I am beginning the second week of 22mcg titration and will increase up to 44mcg. So far, I have only experienced mild injection site reactions, some redness, mild soreness after 22mcg injection, but all side-effects subside quickly.

I was diagnosed RRMS March 2015 and began Rebif Rebidose as recommended by my neurologist in April. I am beginning the second week of 22mcg titration and will increase up to 44mcg. So far, I have only experienced mild injection site reactions, some redness, mild soreness after 22mcg injection, but all side-effects subside quickly. I can't speak on effectiveness yet as I haven't had a follow-up MRI. The Rebidose is very easy to administer yourself. I take Motrin 30min before I give myself the injection. I rotate between thighs and stomach, finding stomach doesn't hurt at all, thigh mild. I set a timer and rub in a circular motion for 3 minutes after injection with cotton ball. MS Lifelines has been a great resource, came out to show me how to administer injections and called several times to check on me. Also have copay assistance, so I don't pay a copay.

I was diagnosed in Sept 2013. I was presented with a list of treatments, told that primarily difference is method of delivery. I selected the Rebif Rebidose.

Symptoms have remained stable; only side effects were achiness when I woke up in the morning but those have sub ... Show Full Comment

I was very recently diagnosed with MS. I started the Tritration pack with the plain old syringes. I just received my refills and I it was the Rebif Rebidose. Not sure how I feel about the Rebidose, i feel like it hurts to do the injection. So much that I am dreading my injection tonight. I never had a problem or pain with the regular injections. Anyone else have this issue??

I was on Avonex before I switched to Rebif. I didnt have a relapse on Avonex or anything, I just felt like I should take a higher doseage to be safe. I have been taking it for about a year and I havent had a relapse. SO both Avonex and Rebif seem to be doing the job.

I have been taking it for about a year and I havent had a relapse. SO both Avonex and Rebif seem to be doing the job. I think that Avonex is good but Rebif is stronger and you take it more frequently. This is the only drag about Rebif is taking it three times a day. I hate the injector they give you, so i inject the needle right into me like I did befor ehte Avonex pen. I think that if anyone is thinking about switching to Rebif they definitely should, it takes a while to get used to 3 times a week, but I havent had side effects (take ibuprofen before) and havent had a relapse.
