Hi everyone, brand new member, first time poster here. I took my first Gilenya dose at 8am this morning. I took a hard 4 hour nap as soon as a got home from that 6hour visit. I literally could not wait to get home and sleep. I felt fine otherwise, but the sleepiness was unbelievable. My question is, will this tiredness subside at all? I have to work, and it's not like they offer nap time at my job!
I've done the A-B-C injectables over the years (hated them all, especially Avonex), so I have high hopes for Gilenya.
My MS has robbed me of almost all my joys, so I am bitter, angry, resentful and pretty much depressed most of the time. I used to cross country run (as recently as 2009), effortlessly walk around for hours, and do amateur runway modeling at malls and minor local fashion events. Now I can't walk in heels, walk through the mall, and forget about running. No more mini-marathons for me
Last month I applied for a parking permit, and that sucks the most. I'm only 38 and it feels like the life I knew is over and now it's all downhill....soon to be downhill in a wheelchair? It's hard to stay positive when every other thought in my head is this effin disease and where it's taking me.
I know I'm not alone in my cynicism and jaded attitude. Don't worry, I'm not suicidal, just very pissed off at my fate. So, yeah, I've got high hopes riding on Gilenya. Thanks for reading my story! Peace and health to you all.
