Nothing about MS is to anyones liking. If you choose to not take the oral meds that is your choice. I for one am happy to HAVE a choice. Injections suck.

Regarding oral MS medications such as Fingolimod, Cladribine, and any others, I have read prior reports that they "will be priced competitively with injectable medications." I interpret such a statement to mean that they will wind up costing $10k to $20k per year. Does anyone else have a more accurate estimate on the cost of these medications?
