March 2004 Journal |

March 2004 March 18th, 2004 - Have finally upped my Rebif dosage to full strength (40 mcg). My liver enzymes have been doing remarkably better this time. One (can't remember which - ALT or AST) is barely above normal range and the other was at the upper end of the normal range and has been moving back down into mid-range normal. My next blood test will be telling as I will have been on full strength for 2 months. I have had more discomfort with the injections this time around - I've had local muscle cramping in the area near the injection site immediately after injection. I've also experienced flu-like symptoms most every night after injection. Taking an analgesic helps. One thing I've found that helps me is to warm the injection up to body temp before injecting. I tuck the syringe (minus the plunger but definitely with the needle cap still on) in my bra - use body heat to warm it up.
