My neuro wants me to start Gilenya because I have tried Copaxone, Tysabri and Rebif and had side effects that were uncommon.
Her statement to me was, "Since you can't seem to tolerate injectables, then it's time to start Gilenya." I just don't believe that. I haven't tried Avonex or Betaseron. Shouldn't I try these first before I jump into something that I am really not comfortable with? I don't see my neuro until August, but she wants me to make a decision and call her. I kinda just want to wait to see her in August, so I can discuss this in person.
I really don't know what to do. I seem to be in a relapse now and I am really worried that if I don't get on some sort of treatment soon, I will end up having a severe relapse that may cause major harm.
What do you all think? Please I need advice.
