I just started on a trial for Gillenya Thursday. I took my last shot (hopefully) of Betaseron Wednesday night.
I do have a question about it's effectiveness though. With Betaseron, I was told that it takes about 6 months for the medication to reach it's full effectiveness.
Does it take this long for Gillenya to be fully effective?
I also understand that Betaseron will stay in my bloodstream for about a month after I stop taking it, is this why I needed to take Betaseron right up until I started Gillenya?
Is Gillenya fully effective right away? Is it more powerful than they injectibles?
I am a little nervous as I felt Betaseron was working extremely well for me but I'm not going to pass up a chance to not have these huge welts all over my body
