I 've been taking Aubagio since it was first approved by the FDA over three years ago. Since going on it, been very fortunate to not have any side effects; no relapses and I've actually started doing things again that I did before MS. Before Aubagio, I went through three other treatments in three years and had relapses every April and October like clockwork. Each relapse left residual damage so I never could get back to a baseline.

The only bad for me is I've had to fight to keep taking it because once I got viral flu that injured my liver. My neurologist was ready to pull the plug on Aubagio and switch me to something else, but I begged her not to, and she gave me one month to get my liver numbers headed back toward normal. Needless to say they did, which she said surprised her and I got to keep my Aubagio.

I love Aubagio, it's the perfect treatment for me. My lesions are to be getting smaller too.

My experience with Aubagio has been indifferent at best. But then again, I'm not at all sure that I have RRMS but think rather that I my have ppms of one form or another. Still working on getting it all straight.

Hi Debbie, Aubagio has kept me relapse free for 3 years. I think I feel better on it then Avonex and Copaxon. I have had some hair loss but it's better then feeling like I have the flu with shots. πŸ™‹πŸ’πŸ‘πŸΌ

I am starting my 3rd month. I have not had side affects to speak of, although they said that the possible hair loss doesn't start until the 3rd month...I am apprehensive about this coming month. I have had a sense of well being since I've been on it even though I actually feel worse...go figure !

I have a bad back so the DRs. ae deciding whether my worsening is coming from my back or MS.

I just got news from my back DR. about the Lumbar MRI he orderd shows that my symptoms are not from my back....So Now I have to see what my Neirologist wants to do. I hope it doesn't mean that the Aubagio isn't working.

That may be ,ore info thatn you wanted, I hope some of it helps though !
