My Gilenya Experience

….Just wanted to give an update on my Gilenya experience.  I’m past the 6-month mark and doing well. Mandatory eye exam and bloodwork are fine, and I’m having no other adverse reactions to the med. My neuro has about 100 people on it and only 1 person had the initial lowered heart rate. Not bad odds. This med seems to be best for people with moderate courses of the disease, and those who fare well on the injectables. Not the solution for all MSers, but it’s been nice to be needle-free and if you are thinking of ditching the Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone, or Rebif, and your doctor thinks you are a suitable candidate, I highly recommend.
