I made the decision, after some discussion with my dh, not to take my injection last night. I've found that Betaseron's side effects (extreme achiness, some slight feelings of nausea) have been more than I can take. I thought that my body would get used to the drug and that the side effects would occur less often; be less intense. Nope.
I didn't remember reading anything about it being harmful to just stop taking the injections (instead of weaning off of it). Did I miss something? My neuro didn't return my call today, so I didn't get his input on the matter.
If anyone knows that this is a bad idea (cold turkey, I mean), please let me know. I can just let it go as a "skipped injection" and take one tomorrow night (so I won't be off schedule). Frankly, if it's not harmful to just quit all at once, that's just what I'd prefer to do. I have a family I need to care for and I'd just rather be able to function and not feel sick nearly constantly.
