Hi all

New here. My wife actually has MS.
A little history

She started Beta Seron 18 years ago. Her ankles have always been weak - her only real symptom.
2 years ago she added Ampyra and it really helped her walking.
1 month ago she stopped taking Beta Seron for Gilenya.

No side effects thus far.

She takes multivitimins, Fish oil, calcium, Evening primrose oil, among other vitimins.
She is 40 but was diagnosed when she was 11.

Quick question with you wife's minimal progression over the 18 years on Beta why has she decided to stop it?

Have you heard of Dr. Swanks 50 year study for treating MS?

She was getting tired of being a human pin cushion. She had been praying (literally) for many years for a pill.
Now that Gilenya is here, she is so much happier and the Gilenya is at least equal in results to the shot, for her.
