I started a few months ago and have stopped altogether! I'd been on Tysabri prior and never had any problems with it. My doctor wanted to give my body a break from the infusions. While on Gilenya, I had chest heaviness, was tired more and just overall didn't like the way it made me feel. I'll be starting Tysabri back again.
Been taking Gilenya since Sept 07 while it was still in clinical trials. Love it!!
Biogen came out with a differ pill starts with a T.
I almost started taking Gilenya a year ago. One of my doctors suggested it. I ran it by my MS specialist doctor. She actually told me that a woman around my age died within 2 weeks while on Gilenya. She had a heart attack. Since heart disease runs in my family, I decided to stay away from Gilenya. I am still doing the Rebif injections. My recent MRI looked great. Hope this helps.
