My first dose was supposed to be this week but was rescheduled. Now, for some odd reason since I have had the extra time to think about it I've grown more nervous and apprehensive. I read some old post, some from back in 2012 and those have really made me rethink my position on taking Gilenya. My DW even made the comment the other night that she wasn't sure I should take it. Her comment really caught me off guard and left me speechless.
The posts I read were enough to make you turn and run for the hills. Though the posts were three years old the medication is the same. Now I find myself in a quandary, do I take the medication or not. I'll be honest, this medication scares me. The other three I've been one didn't bother me at all. If it was an injection I just gave myself the shot and never thought about it. when I switched to Tecfidera I just took the pill and never thought about it. But Gilenya, it has me on edge.
Is this normal? How did everyone else feel when they were about to take their first dose? I know no two people will react the same, but I'm just looking for some input. I guess something that will put me more at ease, other than a Xanax.
