I had been on gilenya for 5 years and within a 2 month period I contacted strep throat and a ruptured appendix, both serious infections. I do notice the difference between the two drugs....I did feel better on the gilenya. However, I just had my first MRI since starting techfidera and there are no new lesions. So, even though I don't feel as good on the gelinya the techfidera isn't causing any harmful side effects and the brain is stable I am just extremely grateful there are choices to make in this battle.

Although if I get tired, hot/cold or stressed, I get numbness and milder cramping for brief periods.

Went to a Tecfidera meeting this evening and am very interested, but really, have had great improvement with Gilenya. Started in March, have occasional migraines and light sensitive but lesser than before. No MS attacks.

Have heard about some problems but haven't had any so far other than the migraines. I am also more light sensitive but look great in my rhinestone sunglasses.

how are you now?
