For Multiple Sclerosis "As soon as I began taking this medicine, my vision became incredibly blurry. Nausea and other stomach issues not as bothersome, but present daily nonetheless. Neuropathic problems in legs occurring daily. Tingling, sharp pains, and numbness in different areas of feet and legs come on intermittently."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I've had MS for 25 years. Been on every med there is, I think. Started Aubagio 7 months ago. The medication seems to be working, however, the side effects have been very real. Hair loss has been more than minimal for me but has slowed down now. Feeling out of it is how I feel most days, but I do have more energy. I do have headaches most days, but they are tolerable with increased water intake. Incontinence seems to be worse, but I just started a new med that is working there. I've had mouth sores and boils, which I've never had before. My depression has gotten worse, and I cry a lot, it seems. Stomach upset and diarrhea have subsided, but the dry skin is a pain. My brain lesion activity has stopped, however, my balance, vision, and endurance are worse."

For Multiple Sclerosis "Diagnosed in May 2015. Started on Copaxone. Stayed with it for over 2 years before I couldn't take the pain from the injections any longer. Started Aubagio. I've been on it for about 6 months. For the first two months, I couldn't get off the couch. I literally had zero energy. Wasn't sure if it was the disease or the meds at first. But it lasted too long to be the disease. It eased up a little bit and I started doing my thing again, but I never have felt 'well' since I started taking the drug. Now, 6 months in and I stopped it 2 days ago. I can't take it anymore. Headaches, unrelenting fatigue, disorientation, tingling in my head and neck (like hair standing up), blurry vision, depression, stomach upset, irritability, did I say fatigue? I'm not an advocate for not taking meds for this disease even though I know they are poisoning our bodies. But if the consequence is dealing with daily misery and pain, then no thanks."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I have taken Aubagio for 6 months and no new lesions since I started. For the first couple of weeks, it upset my stomach and I had bad headaches, but those improved. After a month or two, the hair loss gradually increased and I'm still losing more after 6 months. I still have headaches every day, but they haven't been bad until recently. I now have face flushing and pins and needles that are much worse than normal. I also have a red sore on my arm that is slowly growing and just doesn't want to heal. I'm going to Neuro this week to decide if I should continue or not."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I’ve been on Aubagio for one month. Was leery of trying it due to the listed side effects. I take it at bedtime and haven’t noticed any bothersome issues. Minor tingling sometimes in my face, but not terrible. No hair loss yet or stomach issues, thankfully. Energy level seems good, some issues I had prior to Aubagio seem to have gotten a bit better. I’ll see how my MS is after 6 months!"

For Multiple Sclerosis "Have had M.S. since 19 years. Now 60 years. Was on Tysabri for 7 years, no relapses. Then tested positive for C.J. virus. Have taken Aubagio for 6 months, lots of hair loss and upset stomach, also burning in feet. Haven't had MRI yet, hope it’s working."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I loved that Aubagio was a small pill, but I experienced GI symptoms starting on the first day. We hoped they would go away, but three weeks later, I was still having stomach issues every day. They diminished when the medication was discontinued."
