"I was diagnosed in 2018, first on Avonex, then Vumerity. Now I've just started this medication a month ago. All of a sudden, I have watery eyes, more feeling of pins and needles, and more fatigue. I'm hoping it's temporary and will go away."

Teriflunomide "I started on Aubagio in 2013. It's been over 10 years. The only drug I have taken this long. I did all 4 of the injections available at the time, and nothing worked. It took me years, but I'm better than I was before, even working part-time since 2018. This drug has been great for me."

"I was diagnosed with PPMS in September 2014. Aubagio was not intended for this kind of MS, but the neurologist thought I should try it. Started in December 2014. I find that I get a faint, woozy feeling about half an hour after taking; it seems to go away pretty quickly, less than an hour. I also find that I cut myself and bleed easily just by touching something. Don't know if this is from Aubagio. I also have loss of balance and slurred speech; don't know if this is the med or just MS. I had an MRI in September 2015 and was told my MS had not progressed, which is a good thing. The neurologist says it is because of the Aubagio."

Teriflunomide "Starting Aubagio next month. I was diagnosed with MS in 1994, at the age of 41. That started me on Avonex, but it was too hard for me to give myself a shot with a 1” needle. They next switched me to Rebif, with a daily shot. On that until I moved, the new neurologist changed me to Copaxone. Was on that until 'Obamacare,' copay went up to 5K, off MS drugs until they got generic, which copay went down to $300 a month. On that until Thanksgiving 2019, then I broke out in hives. I had to go to the ER, they gave me Benadryl. Meanwhile, my lesions are still increasing. Will see how this drug works for me."

Teriflunomide "I’ve been on Aubagio for 2 years. I had some side effects: diarrhea and hair thinning. The hair thinning is starting to come back after 2 years. I love the ease of this versus injections."
