I've been prescribed Plegridy 125mcg/0.5ml Pf Syr 2x0.5 for my multiple sclerosis. It's a modified version of interferon beta and is supposed to help calm down the immune system, reducing MS relapses. It's given as an injection under the skin every two weeks. Has anyone else tried this? I'm curious to hear about your experiences, both good and bad. The side effects list is quite long, and I'm nervous about the potential for serious issues. I'm hoping to hear from people who've had better experiences than the worst case scenarios. Especially interested in hearing about flu like symptoms and how people deal with them, as well as any tips or advice on managing the injections.
