Re: Aubagio
All of you are talking mostly about side effects of this drug. Craftlady is the only one reporting positive effect on her MS symptoms ( very encouraging to hear). So my question to all that had been on Aubagio for a longer period of time , how does it affect your MS symptoms? Do you feel it has stabilized your MS? Do you still have relapses? Anything that helps is good news...
Thanks

Re: Aubagio
I also had an episode in 2006 when I started LDN and was on Abx for 2 2/5 years. No or minimal symptoms until recently,2 months ago. Honestly thought that MS is in the past for me. Now, MS is rearing it's ugly face again in a bad way! I have never ever been on any DMD's. My neuro is going more towards Gilenya! I will definitely discuss Aubagio as an option with him. Another 2 years for Campath and BG-12 to be approved here in Australia and I am afraid I can not wait that long. I hope others will chime in with the feedback..
be well

Re: Aubagio
Taking 14mg once a day, but only 16 days into it. So far I can't tell that it is doing anything except making me a little nauseous about 30 minutes after I take it. Nausea subsides about 2 hours after taking it, and it seems to help if I eat more when I take it. Avoiding any fatty or sugary foods, and I mean even natural sugars like sweet natural fruits. Overall, I feel like my symptoms are stable at the moment. But my progression was not that rapid prior to starting Aubagio, so we'll give it a few months or so to see how it goes.
Will see how it goes, but I definetly prefer this over a daily injection so far. Gilenya and BG-12 do not appeal to me either, and my Neuro seems to agree. For me it came down to Aubagio, or trying to go without any meds. I decided to give this a try for now.

Re: Aubagio
Aubagio side effects, at least for me, subsided quickly. I would not avoid this medication due to it's potential side effects. In my opinion.....Aubagio potential side effects are mild compared to the potential side effects of the other currently approved dmd's. Biggest concern while taking Aubagio is the liver, but it is monitored closely with monthly bloodwork.
MS one to one, the patient assist program for Aubagio is also good. They will pretty much assist with whatever you need, getting refills, lab work, copay assist, etc. They just called this past week to remind me it is time for another liver panel.
It is sooooo nice not to inject every day!!!

Hey Thanks Standing Tallstandingtall wrote:Hey kzombeck. Although I have only been on Aubagio for 6 weeks, it has not been bad at all. As I mentioned in earlier post, I did have some nausea after taking the daily dose. That symptom lasted for about two weeks, and now I do not have any side effects or symptoms from the medication. Overall, my health and particulary the MS have been stable since starting the Aubagio with no new symptoms or flare ups.

I will be starting this new med soon. Side effects can't be any worse that I had when I started Avonex.

Have you started the new med yet? How is it going? Would like to hear some updates from Aubagio folks.kzombeck wrote: Hey Thanks Standing Tall

I am around week 11, although I have not been feeling great lately. No "attacks", but just not feeling well in general. Hopefully my issues are not related to Aubagio or it's protection or lack thereof at all. Checking some bloodwork to investigate some other issues, we will see.
