Day 4 on Gilenya

Post by mandamurr81 »

I started Gilenya on Saturday. I don't know what I was expecting. I was a little fatigued the first couple of days. Other than that nothing has happened, good or bad. Just a not for anyone interested in starting.

I have been on it for about 2 weeks, and I cannot say I have noticed anything that is not within the day to day change of MS symptoms :sad: but one could also point out, I have not had a relapse in those two weeks...

Could you two update your experiences with Gilyena? I just returned from neuro appt and she was very positive about it. It is a large practice and they have approx 50 patients on it.

I'm on my 3rd week of Gilenya and so far no complaints! A Dr. and Nurse watched me take my first dose. It was very anti-climatic, lol. I felt slighty dizzy a few hours after taking it and maybe a bit more tired than usual for a few days, but nothing extreme or that gave my any worry. So far I would give it an A rating. Hopefully it's quietly doing it's job :smile:
