I'm taking aubagio for the ms but one of the side effects is that if I'm ever injured it takes my body a lot longer to heal. What would normally take a person a few days, it take me weeks. Anybody else with this problem?

Copaxone was like taking a Tylenol to me. I was on copaxone for 4.5 years and kept having relapse.

Yes
, I have to be very careful around children. I get the flu everytime around my great nieces and nephews. They're done in a a few days. I take a few weeks sometimes. Our immune systems are so frail with this disease, I'm amazed it works at all.

I agree. I always ask if it's live or not. I don't want to get the wrong one! This year I get my first shingles shot. We'll see if I have any reaction t it.

@A MyMSTeam Member I was on Gilenya for about 6 months or so. The side effects were too much for me. I was depressed and started having suicidal thoughts. I took myself off the meds and told my dr he was going to have to put me on something else. I'm now on aubagio and I like it.

Yeap. I'm on gileyna and I believe that's why my ankle which I sprain the first of March still hadn't completely healed. The sprain was minor. I also have very low wbc.
