Medicine and Marathons

Hi guys, hope you're all well. I met with my neuro last week and we discussed starting coxapone/rebif. Basically an injectable. I'm currently not on any medication. I'm going for lumber puncture, bloods etc with the hope of making a finial decision and starting in 4 months, which would be around September time. BUT I've been training for the Dublin marathon which will be October time. Am I totally naive to think it would be even possible a month into new medication? As strange as it is, I'm the fittest I've ever been. I'm scared if I wait another year to run I could have relapse but be unable to.

@katrinaf93 , as we've said many times. any Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) must fit into your lifestyle. The obvious answer here is to run the marathon and then start the DMT. I'm sure your Neuro would understand and support you.

I struggled with an upset stomach when I first went on Gilenya. This lasted probably no more than a week. Everybody is different, though!
