For Multiple Sclerosis "I have been on this medicine for almost 3 months and must say it has a really big impact on my MS. I have improved. Who improves when having this disease for 10 years. I have had side effects such as nausea, malaise, headache and GI problems but worth it for the benefits."

Gilenya (fingolimod) for Multiple Sclerosis "Anyone loves the idea of taking a pill vs. giving themselves a shot. I have really enjoyed the ease of taking my medication as a pill, however I have developed recurrent sinus infections over the course of 6 years. It has gotten progressively worse and is affecting my excessive absences from my job, which is undesirable. Looking into an alternative medication. Have previously been on Copaxone and Avonex. Overall I would say that this has helped with my lesions in my brain and spinal cord. There have been new ones and some have gotten smaller."
