Gilenya and rash

Post by jenf »

Hi everyone,
I started Gilenya on January 20th. About two weeks ago I noticed a rash that has now spread all over my body (small itchy bumps that are hard to see, but can be felt). Last week my neuro wanted me to start a once every other day dose and take benadryl at night. One week later and no improvements so they're taking me off it. Has anyone else had this reaction? I had something similar with Tecfidera, but that rash was isolated to my back and was slightly different.
