Having slept most of the day today and the numbness all over, we are thinking I am having another exacerbation. Yuk! However, I am continuing the gilenya. I will call the neurologist to see if I need a
solumedrol infusion. That is the last thing I would choose, but if it helps I am all for it.  Nothing like five days of infusing steroids.  They have a complete opposite effect for me.  I sleep like a baby for five days. May not be a bad choice.  The side effects from gilenya may be the culprit tho. Some of the more serious issues that could be life threatening problems are cold sores and chicken pox. (had as a child)
My neurologist will check my blood count and liver enzymes every few weeks. All of this still is better than an injection every day and taking the interferon drugs for me.  The interferon injections, like Avonex gave me flu like symptoms within an hour chills, fever, nausea, vomiting. I don't want to do that again. Right now I am for the pill, gilenya.  Hoping at this point I will have good results in the next few weeks. Tomorrow will be a better day.
