Hi everyone,
I’m new to this site, nice to know we’re not alone!
I’m 19 and was diagnosed with MS at 14, I tried the Betaferon injections but thought they were too painful so I’m now on the fairly new tablet Fingolimod. I’ve been taking since November and think it’s perfect for me. Just wondering if anyone else is taking it and how are they coping with it?

My friend is on it and really likes it, no relapses for years and no injections. I’m only at the beginning of DMDs and thinking I’ll try Avonex first. Apparently you can’t go on to fingolimod until you’ve tried and failed with the injections. I was offered the new drug aubagio but there were too many side effects on the list, sounded a bit risky.

I’ve been on it for nine months and had three relapses in that time and can feel myself deteriorating.
I had a new MRI scan last week and awaiting referral to be considered for Tysabri.
It’s just not worked out for me but I know there have been some fantastic success stories with it.
Hi Chloe
I’ve been on it since November too and so far so good.
I was a bit worried about the risk of infections but I’ve had a cold and it didn’t turn into anything more serious (I’m asthmatic too so I was concerned I might end up with a chest infection).
I’m really hoping for several years with no relapses. Of course, the big bonus is no more self injecting
