			<description><![CDATA[Msamy, my side effects with <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Rebif" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Rebif')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Rebif">Rebif</a> have been relatively mild in the beginning, to where I don't feel anything now after being on it for almost 5 months. 
        I started with the 8.8 dose and gradually boost it to 44. 
        If you've been on it a long time and the side effects are really bad, you ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Also.. I don't know if this has anything to do with <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Rebif" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Rebif')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Rebif">Rebif</a>.. but I've noticed I have more energy on the days after I do my shot.. Then the day of my shot I am exhausted... but that could be from doing too much the day before because I feel so good??]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is all excellent advice - can't add more than just my experience.

			<description><![CDATA[I've been on Rebiff 44mg for 1 year.  I find that premedicating with alleve, <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Ibuprofen" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Ibuprofen')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Advil">advil</a> or something helps. I take it at 8pm everyh night and find the flu symptoms start after 3 hrs.  I typically do not wake from them.  Obvioiusly you might be more prone to the effects.
