Hi Hidden welcome to our chat :) Sorry it's because of this monster tho :(

I can understand about the shots. I'm on copaxone now. It's only been 18 mos for me, but seems like forever sometimes. How are you handling the aubagio? I don't know anything about it, but l know others here do. :)

Make yourself at home and jump right in :) We talk about pretty much anything and everything here. But most of all give each other support. It's also a great place to vent :)

Been on it for two months now (Aubagio) so I feel okay I was on Copaxone for ten years. I like Aubagio as the pill is very small and dose not require to be kept cold. So when I head out somewhere I just take it with me. The biggest joy though no shots

I have been on Aubagio for 6 months and before Avonex...agree about the shots...hated them and the flu like crap all the time...I havent had anything at all as far as side effects..they tell you about the hair loss for 3 months and it grows back but I have went to meetings where others take it and no one said anything about that other than normal hair shedding...it never bothered me at all...so glad no more shots...glad you found it I think after shots you will like it...if insurance says you have to take shots like mine did my doctor told them I had shot fatigue and the flu symptoms were hindering my work...

I've been on Aubagio for 10 months and I like it. I showed no new activity on my 1 year MRI. I had a headache off and on for about a week when I first started it but other than that, I haven't noticed any side effects. There are some Aubagio threads on this site where you can read about others. Just use the search bar and search for Aubagio.

Hidden Glad you are liking the Aubagio. How long have you been on it? I have wanted to go on a pill form but afraid of the various side effects of the various ones so have not talked to my Neuro about it.
