Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 << I have had about everything except interferon injections, but from what I've read from others, that's not the way to go. It will be painful and there are other more non-invasive things to try. >> I had the injections. They didn't happen to help me, but they are not all *that* painful (like a shot -- just in a more sensitive area). For the ones closer to the 12:00 area, I experienced some soreness in the precise location of the shot for an hour or two afterwards. I would also not call them particularly invasive. The only side-effect I experienced was flu-like symptoms for a day or two after the first couple of shots (a common side-effect). Of course, there are many other methods to try that don't involve needles. For me it was worth it to " give it a shot " , as it were -- the entire series took 4 weeks, I think (it was a while ago -- maybe it was 8 weeks?). Anyway, it was a reasonably short time-investment. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES! It definitely can help that, and is a lot faster than dilators. Nish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 I haven't had interferon injections personally but from the studies and such I've read interferon doesn't seem to help a large percentage of women and that it isn't a cure. I also got the feeling that interferon injections were kind of an old-fashioned way of treating VVS, everyone knows about that possible treatment but not many people actually have it done anymore. I personally am having a lot of relief from Estrace, I managed to talk my doctor into prescribing it to me, a 25 year old. He was surprised when I asked for it, he had never heard of Estrace being used for VVS patients (well thank god I had heard of it, it's really working!).

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 HI . Glad things are going well after the surgery. As the days go by, you may just feel better and better, I am hoping for you. We are having a hear wave as well. We are going into the mid 60's.... hehehehe..... most forecasted in the mid 50's, but that is pretty ok for here. Long as there is no wind, I hate wind period, it feels like a spring day. Thankfully, there is not much wind since I moved to CO. I seen the UPS dude wearing shorts, I guess since they move around so much, it works for them. Love, Normi hello! >Well the dr's visit went well today and I can go back to work tomorrow >night. We will know in the next month if the procedure worked or not. I >sure hope so!! It's warmed up into the 40's today and is rather nice. >Lots of sunshine. This weekend we are suppose to be in the 50's. A >freaken heat wave!! But hey!! I saw a mailman today wearing shorts!!!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Val, I don't have answers, but (((hugs))) anyway. trista Hello! Hi! It's me, the stranger. I've been taking Rebif for 9 months now. Do I see a difference? You're *bleepin'* right I do! And it's not for the better! I have more symptoms now than I ever did. And I'm pretty sure it's the Rebif causing most of it. Especially the depression. I've never felt so bad in my whole life! Does anyone know if it's possible to just go off the stuff cold turkey, or do you have to wean yourself off of it? I have enough for 3 more months, but I don't want it anymore. Sorry for dumping again. This is one of the reasons I have all but stopped posting. It's the ol', "If you ain't got nothin' nice to say...." But...I do have some nice stuff in my blog. Mostly just filler stuff. God bless you all!! http://360.yahoo.com/vallee45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi Val,……..i think some medicines can cause depression in some people. It will be interesting to see how you get to feeling if you go off of the rebif. I really pray that’s what is causing it for you. I owe you a letter, and will try and get one off to you soon.

I had no side effects. But Rebif is stronger than Avonex so I don't know. Feel better soon. We all miss you here! love...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 {{{{{{{{Val}}}}}}}} It's all part of the MS journey. An unpleasant and unwanted part, but a part nonetheless. Everyone here understands, Val. What better place to come and share even the hardest times than where people really do get it and really can empathize. I don't know anything of Rebif, but if you notice such a negative change associated with the med, then checking into weaning seems a very wise choice to me. HUGS, Challis Valene wrote: Hi!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 When I stopped rebif I just stopped. Same with copaxone. No side effects from stopping, more side effects from taking them!
