Thumbs up

Received my 1st month's supply. I'm really excited. From initial call to neuro to receiving med, exactly 1 month. My hold up was bcbs. They rejected so had to use financial assistance. I'll start tomorrow and keep you posted. I didn't see any side effects with Gilenya so I don't forsee any with this oral. DMF, the active ingredient is something my previous employer used to sell. If FDA ever allows generic, price should be greatly reduced. I can't recall the exact wholesale price but I think it was less than a month's supply per kg. Don't know what other meds it is used in but I do recall that a big pharma did purchase it. May have been for psorias too in the U.S. but in injectible or infusion form.
