You'll notice both a question mark and an exclamation point at the end of my thread title..
Is it the Rebif which is working or the disease which ISNT progressing? OR is it the same thing??
however, I did have an MRI last week and saw both my Neurologist and MS Specialist in the last 24 hours. I didnt want to post until I heard from both of them and found out if they both saw the same thing. My guys DONT read the reports...they read my films To date, they have always been on the same page as far as what they have seen-
No new lesions, after almost 18 months on Rebif...
the new symtoms which I had mentioned starting, the migranes as well as the foot numbness- they both write off as simply symptoms, but not relapses. My eyes checked out fine, for once..my balance and coordination were better than 6 months ago when I was last evaluated.
I was given a nasal spray to try for the migranes- it kind of scares me- but I took the sample...
And, i was told that they are having alot of success with Cymbalta for pain and numbness. I was given a script, but Im going to ask you guys- who has used it and what side effects have you had??

Overall, thrilled to death that my MS is what they consider stable. I have to tell you, Im a fan of Rebif. I really am...whether or not my disease would be this low activity without it, isnt something I am ready to explore at this time, but overall, even with the headaches, the numbness and tingling- I know Im doing great- and that, is worth the tiny inconvience of a needle 3 times a week.
But, wasnt looking to just update, as much as ask about cymbalta and opinions...and throw the Rebif thing out there...just for an FYI.


hugs
Nikki
