Hi,

I was diagnosed in October after four weeks of diplopia. I have several lesions in the brain and one in the cord. My EDSS is 1.5. My symptoms include poor balance, weak left leg / arm, and memory.

I was on IV steriods last week and oral for one more week. After discussing the DMD treatments with my MS neuro we decided on Gilenya over Tysabri. I read the Tysabri & Gilenya efficacy / safety Trials and I concluded the benefits of Gilenya outweigh the risks.

Do you use Gilenya? What has your experience been thus far?

Thanks in advance.

Al

Hi Al and welcome to NeuroTalk!

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis but glad you found this site. You'll get a bunch of support and understanding here.

When you get tired of MS come on over to The Stumble Inn. That's where the MSer's go to have fun and get silly. Here's the link: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com./forum102.html
