Hi Wiz!

I answered you on the "other" board, too. But you probably didn't recognize my new user name, BoyzMom.

Anyway, I started Gilenya almost a year ago. I had been on Rebif, Tysabri (60+ infusions), Copaxone, IVIG.

I feel almost as well on Gilenya as I did on Tysabri, and that is saying a lot.

I had a few side effects to start - a slight nagging headache for a few weeks. And I was absolutely exhausted by 10 a.m. I switched to taking it in the evening, and now I don't fall asleep in my coffee!

Now, other than a great MRI in October, I have no side effects at all. Eyes are good. Liver function is good. Heart is good.

I'm jealous that you get to take your First Dose Observation at home! How did you manage that? I spent 6+ long and boring hours in a cardiologist's office!

Good luck to you!
