Bumpyjo, in your research chk out the pharmacies that have results on 'pills'. Just found out that aubagio (the one I was instructed to take...I never ?'d why or how come)(a pill for relapsing MS, which I do not have) is quite low on scale for doing it's job! Tecfidera has a quite high mark....as a couple of others. It's your 'Bat', chk out the side effects and weigh out the possible pros and cons. Finding a Doc who U can trust,who is a real person, who listens, and looks at U when talking to U AND when U talk!! ARE A MUST!

I am on Tecfidera which is the latest oral that has been approved. I have had minimal side effects. Prior meds included Copaxone, Rebif and Tysabri. All were O.K. The key is to make sure that you don't get taken off one without being placed on another. I was taken off of Copaxone due to a site infection by a prior doctor who did not put me on anything else. 4 months later I had a exasperation and ended up in a nursing home for 3 months. I had full functions (walking too) prior to the incident and now I am wheelchair bound and only able to use my left arm.

I am taking glenya now that it available in Australia. I have had no reaction to this drug. I don't know what it will do to my kidney. I was using Rebif when I was isn't diagnosed. I do feel heat at times but I was not aware that it was because of the MS medication that I'm taking.

OMG, I'm so sorry. My sister is having the same problem. She is having surgery this month to remove her kidney and she too has MS. I do not recommend the Aubigio pill. I had swelling of the tongue, hives, and I stopped breathing. My Dr. told me that more info. about how bad the pill is was being published.
