Hi, I recently started avonex about 3 months ago and with much anxiety. If your reading this post then you may be just starting or are considering starting. Whatever, the reason I wanted to say good luck and hopefully your experience will be some of the same as I have had.
I began the titration in horrible fear of one the needle and two of all the horrible things I had read. For me though I had a harder time being poked by my husband then from anything from the drug itself. I have twice had flu like symptoms but only lasting for a couple hours each time. My legs are rarely bruised and I almost never have even felt the injection. I hope that I am able to help someone who may have felt the same fear and anxiety as I have and have a happy outcome.
