Default Anybody use Aubagio?

I saw my new neuro today and based on the the fact that I'm still having pretty bad injection site reactions on Copaxone (been on it a year) she wants me to consider switching to Aubagio. I briefly tried Tecfidera and couldn't tolerate it, but she claims that her patients have had much better luck with Aubagio with much more tolerable side effects...no puking for three days straight like I did on T!

I've read some of the literature, but was curious if anybody here was currently on it. I found an old thread where somebody discontinued, but it was awhile ago so I figured an update was in order.

Thanks guys!

Read up on it and didn't like the risk - benefits ratio. Side effects
seemed dire, to me.

I have taken Aubagio for 11 months and my blood work is closely monitored by my Dr. and everything is fine so far. I have had some hair thinning but not too bad. Otherwise, I have no side effects. I had an MRI last month and no new lesions!!

Look it up on the FDA website for side effects. That's what I did and that's why I decided to stay away from it. Each their own tho.
