I'm really considering pill form of medication but not liking the side effects that I see listed, can anyone help? The shots are just too painful and causing divots in my skin.

Been there and done that. I worked in the MS pharma industry for years and the oral meds overall are safe (unless you have a heart issue with the SP1 antagonist drugs). Very convenient to pop a pill vs shots or infusions and fits my lifestyle, but listen to your neurologist as they know your case best.

DaleDEdberg- Neurologist put me on Mayzent so far seems to be working great! Pills are much better for sure and work with my life and schedule better too!

Thank you for your feedback I've been sticking myself for almost 20 years and I'm just done with it

I did but my doctor took me off. I loved it no side effects whatsoever. The only problem was that I forgot to take them at the designated time. It's been a few years and I don't remember the name.

I was on Gilenya for years with no side effects, and I am currently on Mayzent since March 2023 and have had no issues at all. Was sticking myself on and off for over 20 years and was very happy when orals came out.
