New to this site Multiple Sclerosis and Aubagio

[JulieJav1]

Hi, I am new here. I was diagnosed 3 yrs ago with PPMS. I have for the first time ever been prescribed a DMT 2 weeks ago in effort to stop this 4 month long relapse. If anyone else is taking Aubagio, can you share your experience with this drug? I am not really liking it much at this point..

I've been on Aubagio since February of this year. Shortly after starting it, I had about a two week period of nausea. Ate a lot of crackers & drank a lot of Ginger Ale. After that, I have felt better. I have RRMS. Before Aubagio, I averaged 3-4 flare ups a month; now if I have one per month, it doesn't last nearly as long as they used to. We've had a very hot & humid summer, but I credit the Aubagio for having had only a couple flare ups.

Hi GrammaLou, thank you kindly for letting me know. Besides the nausea, i have been having these wicked headaches that are just plain debilitating. I thought I was so lucky when my migraines went away after I got older and didn't have hormones adding to them anymore. I don't even know what a flare up is actually, my MS just seems to go on and on and never lets up. I know there is no meds for PPMS but surely wish they would come up with something..

Are you also in Chicago dealing with this heat and humidity too? I am just staying in the AC so not to aggravate it more with the heat..

I was supposed to start aubagio 6 months ago but a little scared. What is your experience with it?

I have been taking Aubagio for around 9 mo now and have not ill effects from it, I have had one relapse since I started taking it.

I have been on Aubagio since February (10 months) I haven't had any issues in quite a while. I did have a headache the first few weeks but it went away. The only thing now is that my liver enzymes are elevated so we are watching that to make sure it doesn't become an issue. I really hope not because I like Aubagio.
