Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your clinical details and treatment details.

Interferon injections (Rebiff) are the best treatments for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).

Memory impairment may occur as a part of RRMS, and it is not due to the rebuff injections.

An MRI of brain can help in identifying the brain areas affected by MS, which could then be correlated with memory impairment.

As of now, you can take a good diet, do regular physical and mental exercises and sleep well. These would help in improving memory.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
