5.4
For Multiple Sclerosis: How does one know if an MS med works? It is a crap shoot. I have lost hair--no big deal. Most concerned about the accessibility of the packaging. It is an awful package for people with a neurological disorder. What is wrong with a bottle? |
7.0
For Multiple Sclerosis: I have been taking this medicine for 4 weeks now and my weight keeps going up - 15 pounds in the last three weeks - also I feel dizzy from out of the blue. Watching T.V - folding laundry - eating lunch - sitting standing or lying... its all the same. For Multiple Sclerosis: Nine months on Gileyna. I am thrilled that I do not have to take a daily Copaxone injection. No side effects, no relapse, no indication that it does anything. I guess that means it is doing its job. All of the DMDs are expensive! |

For Multiple Sclerosis: When I first started Aubagio, I had almost instant panic attacks that my Dr. And pharmacist said, were not from Aubagio, but every night after I had taken it for months about 15 minutes in I would have the most intense panic attacks that had lasted six months my attacks still lasted after that not as severe but still every day until I just quit it 3 months ago. I also had severe stomach ache, flushing, incredibly high blood pressure, hair thinning, I am feeling now it did help me with energy, I wasn't sure if it was Aubagio or an anti depressants that was helping me and the burning sensation is back in my body. My doctor is going to be upset I have not seen him since I quit, I just can't handle the fear in panic attacks and the blood pressure
