Multiple Sclerosis
"I have been on Avonex for 1 month. I chose it due to the injections once a week. I do not even feel the needle or medication go in.  I do ice the area well for 3 minutes and make sure the alcohol dries completely before injecting with the smaller needle. Each week the side effects have been easier but they are still quite strong.  I do sleep 8 hours after the injection but wake feeling like I did not sleep at all and like I was run over by  a truck until about 20 hours after the injection.  It has taken 3 days to get my energy back so far.  However I do notice that my Multiple Sclerosis symptoms have improved and I have had feeling in my left foot for the first time since my first attack 3 months ago so that makes it worth sticking with for now."
