I was only recently dx [well almost 9 months now] and my doc
put me betaseron. At first I had pains in my joints like with the
flu. Then the headaches started. Slowly over about 6 weeks
they stopped. And now every so often I get them. And I can`t
take many of the over-the-counter pain killers due to my
other meds. Anyway I feel better than I`ve felt in years. My
Doc seems to think I`ve had MS. for a long time. Anyway I
was also told you might have weight gain at first, I did but now I`m losing the
weight . And something for fluid build up too. Now the only real problem I have
now is I get real sleepy about an hour after I take my shot. But if you can stay
awake it wears off. I drink coffee before I take my shot. It helps me. I truly hope
Betaseron works for you. I give you many HUGS, lots of HOPE, and GRACIOUS
PRAYERS. Be Blessed , Jeanie
Sorry, I forgot . They told me it took 6 months to go to work fully. And that`s
about how long it took to fully work. Take Care. Any Questions don`t hesitate to
ask. Also the company that makes Betaseron gave me a nurse. That I can call
any time day or night if I have any questions also. So ask about that. I have a 1-
800 number if you`d like. Just e-mail/message me for it. Jeanie
