I am going to skip a week of shots while I am in Mexico. Has anyone done this? Is it going to hit me hard my first shot back after my vacation?

I am skipping because I am paranoid about drinking with my shots. (Wow that sounds bad) I have a drink once in awhile at home but on vacation I want to enjoy a few drinks each day by the pool. My nuerologist said skipping a week would be ok as long as I didn't make it a habbit. I just wanted to hear from someone else that it wasn't going to be hard to restart.

skipped more than once
A few years back I had to go off the Rebif due to low white count. Was off for 3 months and went back on with little effect. Also, a yr and 1/2 or so ago had a major issue with mail order Rx company and was off for 3 weeks. Again with no problem. All my issues were early on in the first year on the meds (fever, flu like symptoms). The only other issue was the severe drop in white blood count and it was corrected with about 2 weeks off the med. It speaks of the importance of regular blood work for these are powerful drugs.Susie

Not Rebif, but Avonex. My neurologist thought I should give it up for a week and see if it would alleviate my fatigue. It didn't work. However it did get me wondering how effective my doctor really thinks these DMDs really are.
As a matter of fact, I am becoming more and more disappointed with our current treatments and have hope that the ones coming down the pike soon will be an improvement over these old drugs!Tawanda
