Gilenya (fingolimoid)

Hi guys I’m starting the gilenya pills in a week and I’m very anxious about it as my experience with avonex was terrible. I’m just wondering if you guys have any tips on what I should do when I take my first pill? Also I would like to know what you guys experience was with gilenya (if you have ever taken it) what side effects did you get and was it any help to you? Thank you

@abbie_dale , you're much too young to be having to deal with this. Anyway, when you take your first dose, you'll probably be in hospital, attached to a heart monitor. This is just precautionary, as some MSers do experience a temporary, higher heart rate within a short space of time. This monitoring will last about 6 hours.
