I've been on Tysabri for about 14 months, and am soon to be starting Gilenya. This thread will be of interest to me too.

There is a sub-group here called "Gilenya Is It For You?" at the following url:

I have been on Gilenya for almost a year now and the only side effect that bugs me is the fatigue. Other than that it is great! The pre screening process is a bit of a pain, but worth taking a pill over a shot any day. I would definitely do your homework on it before trying it out, but I tend to believe that every medication you take has some ugly side effects and if they seem to be too scary it isn't worth taking.

I have recently started Gilenya, 3 weeks I am hoping this fatigue dies down,I am not exactly bursting with energy anyway,fatigue is one of my worse symptoms of Ms, but I have been worse.
I must say though I like just daily taking a pill
