Has anyone tried Gilenya or Tecfidera? What are you thoughts on these?

I take Gilenya and don't seem to have trouble. I did good in the initial 8 hour observation requirement of first dose. But I think drugs are so varied from person to person on this one. I have mini exacerbations a lot and don't know if that is a sign I need to try something else or keep at it.

Gilenya made my hair fall out!!! Nope, can't have that.
Tecfidera gave me chest pains. Guess I'm officially a problem child.
Waiting for approval for insurance to start Avonex. Hate shots but at least its once a week. Good luck!
