Gilenya?

Hi guys, hope everyone had a great holiday! I just wanted to ask today if anyone had much experience with Gilenya, I'm having a lot of sensitivity to the copaxone shots I'm on an the MS nurse said the dr will most likely want to switch me to gilenya because of that. The shots leave me swollen, sore and bruised for weeks after and I think a pill would be a welcome change. I'm just curious to hear anyone else's experience with gilenya, I'm also just trying to do some research on it before seeing my neuro. Thanks!

I am starting gilenya soon. I am sorry to hear about the experience with Copaxone. I had the same and with rebif too unfortunately. Your doctor gives you the best option you have, depending on type MS. I think you should go for it, if you don't like it, you can always change your mind. Don't forget in any MS related situation you find yourself in, -You are the absolute Boss!
