Default Gilenya -- fingolimod

Just saw on the CNN medical news site that the FDA has approved finglimod -- the first oral MS drug. They are calling it gilenya. I have mixed feelings about this. I am glad that it has been approved, but nervous about trying a new treatment given my past history with the CRAB's and tysabri. I know the last time I saw my neuro he had mixed feelings about putting me on any new treatment considering my history and the fact that I have been relatively stable.

So who is considering trying it?
