Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Rebif is an MS drug, right? My husband has MS and injects Betaseron (another interferon drug) every other night. Some nights he has trouble walking afterwards. Some nights he has a flu-like reaction. Most nights, though, he's fine. I think it's entirely possible that the Rebif is making your walking worse the morning after. Have you read the patient & prescribing info that comes with Rebif? Your symptoms may be described there. Also, does your neurologist specialize in MS? If not, you might want to have a consult with a neurologist who does. As for what restaurants use to sanitize glassware, I can't be of any help there, except to say that if you notice that not drinking from glasses in restaurants causes you no problems -- keep doing it! It sounds like you might have an allergy to the sanitizer. With a disease like Lyme we have a tendency to attribute every odd symptom to it -- or at least we want to!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I don't know what the reference ranges are for your lab tests, and if your numbers are correct, the change in the TSH is huge. My suggestion, consult with your prescribing physician right away. K > > My daughter and I have Hashis. Started iodine 5 months ago and swictched to Armour 2 months ago. Had to find new doc to change from Synthroid. Daughters first labs after iodine were Ft3 3.5, Ft4 0.3, and Tsh 19.81. ATA 165. New labs at Ft3 3.0, Ft4 0.6 and Tsh at 0.11. Started having heart racing 4 days ago. Had been on 2 grains Armour 2 months and 25mg iodoral for 3 weeks after slowly raising iodine. Is it the iodine or too much Armour causing heart race? Also tingly feet now and then. No other notice symptoms. Basal temp is still 97. Any ideas? Thanks > na > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
