I'm really having a hard time with the decision to stop yet another medication!! Copaxone caused me deep depression now on Tecfidera and I have elevated liver enzymes and diarrhea, weak and of course I'm having an attack, just wondering if anybody has had success with say just solu medrol iv treatment? I feel so much better after those treatments, it doesn't last but I love how I feel for the few months???

I love the once a day, oral drug, Gilenya! My mobility has improved dramatically over the last two years and no side effects, for me. I couldn't handle Avonex but, I did it for a couple of years. This drug, and I believe there is a new oral available also, is just such a better thing for me!! Life is improved :)

I've been on Tysabri for over 5 years. It is the only MS med that has done anything to help me. I tried going off it one time to get pregnant and my body reacted so badly that I ended up in the hospital for a month.
