Hello, I took copaxone for many years & it worked good for me, I was put on Gilenya a once a day pill. It has worked wonders. Haven’t had new lesions or changes in years. I like the pill no more shots.

I took copaxone for years. Didn’t like the bruises afterwards. I’ve been on Gilenya pills 1x daily. My MRIs have been good. No relapses. I like the pills better than the daily shot

That is what I take Gileyna and I have not had any problems. My MRI came back with some improvement last year. My lesions had reduced in size. I've been taking it since 2015. I hope you don't mind me answering your question too just thought it might help.

Decreasing relapse rates should be a must when fighting MS because a relapse can be unexpectedly horrific.

I used to take copaxone for a few years and the shots were really painful and were just not pleasant. I would get like a bruise across my whole inner thigh with the copaxone. Then i switched to plegridy for the past 2-3 years and its been great. Site reactions are beter but my only complaint is that my lymph nodes swell after the shot and hurt. But i havent heard anyone else having that reaction. I do recomend plegridy.
