I've been taking Gilenya for nearly 3 years through the Gilenya clinical trial. I was fearful and very hesitant to start, but it has done wonders for me with few side effects and I had few options left. I just wanted to encourage those of you who are starting Gilenya to be patient with it. Most of the side effects will go away in time and it seems to work slowly. I don't tolerate drugs well, yet this has not only agreed with me but has helped with my MS issues in many ways. It certainly isn't a cure, but I have definitely felt improvement and hope to continue to benefit from it. Good luck to all of you just getting started on it. I know everyone is different, but from my own experience, be patient and the side effects will ease up and you will start to see results.
P.S. There is a Gilenya Facebook page where patients discuss their results if that might be helpful to anyone. Just type "Gilenya" in the search box.
