I just read that Gileyna has a increase of Basil Cell Carcinoma. 151 cases with 5 cases PML. The cancer part isn't really talked about. Heads up I guess. Any one diagnosed with it and taken off med?

I am on tecfidera. At my last apt, My neuro told me he took all of his patients off Gilenya because so many patients were having issues with low blood cell count and different illnesses that are related included but not only pml. He also said that every ms drug increases risk of skin cancer specifically.

I have been on Aubagio since March 2015. The side effect that I have had is drying and thinning of hair.

@A MyMSTeam Member Asked my neuro last week and all if them you have a greater chance when you mess with immune system. Guess it is a trade off. How do you like Tecfluderia since you have been on it so long. Injecting 18 years, so if I go to Oral it will be Aubgio or Trcflideria. Waiting to see what happens with the new one on fast tract.
